If the words "cherry limeade" don't already have your ears and tastebuds perked, "whiskey sour" might do the trick! This unique, delicious (and, might we add, beautiful) cocktail substitutes the lemon of a traditional whiskey sour with lime. Don't forget the drool-worthy addition of our Dark Sweet cherries!
Ingredients
Cherry Syrup
- 1 cup of cherries, washed & pitted
- 1 cup of sugar
- ⅓ cup of water
Cherry Limeade Sour
- 2 ounces whiskey or bourbon
- ½ ounce of cherry syrup
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 1 egg white
- Bitters (optional)
Directions
- Make the cherry syrup first. Combine cherries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Lower heat and simmer mixture, stirring occasionally. Reduce the mixture for 10 minutes.
- Strain the mixture into a container and let it cool. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- In a shaker, combine egg white, whiskey, cherry syrup, and lime juice. Shake the mixture vigorously for 10-20 seconds.
- Pour the drink into a glass and add bitters for taste.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and rosemary.
- Enjoy!
