Whiskey Cocktails Warm Weather Ready
Who doesn’t love whiskey cocktails? Especially those that highlight and complement the ingredients in the whiskey. Unabashedly, I’ve already gone through three bottles with more on the way because this infused whiskey is my absolute favorite and I keep finding awesome cocktails to create! Check out my previous article for two of my other favorites Cherry Old Fashioned and Cherry Whiskey Smash made with Traverse City Whiskey Co Bourbon Infused Whiskey, The American Cherry Edition.
Here’s a fantastic quick and easy cherry cocktail that can be whipped together with ingredients you can always have on hand. And, I discovered it’s easy to batch the ingredients for multiple cocktails at a time so you can have immediate gratification!
Cherry Whiskey Sour is the perfect cocktail sipper for weeknights, weekdays, spring, summer …..you get the picture. It’s just great anytime!
All the ingredients are easy to find and easy to keep on hand. Don’t forget about the Traverse City Premium Cocktail Cherries! These are an essential ingredient for the syrup and for garnish!
Stirrings Sour Mix is my choice for this cocktail. It tastes fresh and makes a quality sour cocktail.
For Batch Cocktails:
Just add these ingredients to the cocktail shaker for as many cocktails you want (or what fits in). This can also be made in a pitcher. Just measure it all out being sure to muddle the fruit first.
TIP If you are making more than 3 definitely use a pitch because the oranges and limes will take up too much space in the cocktail shaker.
