Scotch Sour
Essentially just Scotch Whiskey and Lemon Juice, the Scotch Sour is a simplified Whiskey Sour that uses Scotch Whiskey instead of Bourbon. It also just uses Lemon Juice and forgoes the other ingredients for a pretty simple drink designed to improve a Scotch and add additional flavour notes. This recipes usually calls for a Blended Scotch, but feel free to try this with different Scotch to see how you go.
Ingredients
- 45 mL Scotch Whiskey preferably Blended Scotch, but use something you like.
- 20 mL Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Put all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake.
- Strain into a Rocks Glass with ice.
- Enjoy.
Notes
As mentioned, although the standard recipe suggests a Blended Scotch, we encourage you to have fun and try this with any variety of Scotch that you have on hand. Some, of course, will play better with the Lemon than others; it's worth experimenting.
