New Year’s Eve whiskey sour

New Year’s Eve calls for something a little special and this delicious cocktail is just the thing! It’s lemony, a little sweet and packs a real punch thanks to that amazing whiskey. Serve it up on ice for the ultimate refreshing treat and top with a maraschino cherry — if you’re a fan. This version is perfectly balanced and is a great option for anyone wanting something a little stronger than champagne to ring in the New Year!

Equipment

• A shaker
• A strainer
• Short glass

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (3 lemons)
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (4 limes)
• 2/3 cup sugar syrup (see below)
• Maraschino cherries

Method

Combine the whiskey, lemon juice, lime juice and syrup. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice and fill two-thirds full with the cocktail mixture. Shake for 30 seconds and pour into glasses. Add a maraschino cherry and serve ice cold.
Sugar syrup: Put 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Chill thoroughly before using.
