Ingredients

  • Whiskey (2 ounces)
  • Ginger beer (4 ounces)
  • Fresh lemon juice (1 ounce)
  • Simple syrup (1/2 ounce)
  • Ice cubes (as needed)
  • Lemon wedge (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. First, fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes.
  2. Next, pour the whiskey, ginger beer, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup over the ice.
  3. Secure the lid on the shaker and give it a good shake for about 20 seconds. This not only mixes the ingredients but also chills them, enhancing the flavor of the cocktail.
  4. Strain the cocktail into a glass filled with ice. This will ensure a crisp, cold drink without any ice shards or pulp.
  5. Garnish with a lemon wedge on the rim of the glass for a pop of color and an extra citrusy aroma.
  6. Serve your Whiskey Ginger Sour immediately and enjoy this refreshing, tangy cocktail!
