A bit of Strawberry and Whiskey can go a long way. This is the Strawberry Whiskey Sour.

Nothing like adding a bit of fruity flavour to an already great cocktail to change things up a bit. If you are familiar with a regular Whiskey Sour , then you will already know how smooth but also sharp and tasty it can be at the same time. This recipe combines that with a sweeter tone of Strawberries to make a very easy going but strong and boozy drink.
These sorts of cocktails are a great chance for you to play about with your favourite brands of Whiskey or Bourbon. The choice will ultimately come down to preference , but if you lean more towards something sweet and flavourful then Bourbon would be the way to go. This drink does use 3 measures of your chosen Bourbon/Whiskey so pay attention to the strength of the product you are using.
This is a great simple twist on an already fantastic cocktail, so we think its well worth a try for the little effort it takes to make it. The Whiskey Sour has never tasted so good in our opinion.
Here is how it is made.
