- Whiskey Sour
Whisky Sour day is celebrated on 25 August every year. The whiskey sour is one of the best summers’ whiskey cocktails. It’s easy to make, and the recipe is the base for the entire family of sour drinks. It’s also the only best easy summer bourbon cocktail. The great state of Wisconsin has the honor of being the first primary location this classic summer cocktail was mentioned in print—back in 1870. Thanks to Waukesha Plain Dealer.
“Sours” are like a family member of drinks and are more accurately thought of as a principle of mixology. They are one of the oldest approaches to making drinks. It’s an easy, well-worn formula: base sorts of alcohol + sour mixer + sweetener. The gimlet above is basically a sour because Rose’s Lime isn’t a lime juice, but a sweetened lime cordial.
Like the gimlet, the sour has its roots within the mandatory presence of lemons and limes on maritime vessels. Because of this, they are some of the earliest cocktails on record.
Any drink that successfully combines sweet, sour, and liquor is going to be a well-liked summer cocktail. The key is finding easy summer cocktail recipes. Summer cocktail recipes you have already got the ingredients for and take your bartenders under a moment to form. Well, that’s the whiskey sour, the undisputed champion of the summer cocktails.
The whiskey sour’s cherry garnish may be a great representation of the drink itself: sweet and fun. The sugar acts as a bridge between the sweetness of the bourbon and the freshness of lemon juice. The outcome is subtly sweet, pretty much drinkable, and happiness to behold. Sip one back on a warm summer sunset and feel yourself melt into the sweet dusk breeze.

- 45-60 ml of whiskey

- Old Pal
The old pal is within the Negroni and boulevardier cocktail family. Rather than using sweet vermouth, the old pal uses dry vermouth. And, where a Negroni has gin and a boulevardier bourbon, the old pal uses the spicier rye whiskey. A ton of bartenders today make boulevardiers with rye rather than bourbon because it creates a fuller flavor profile with the Campari. Well, that’s what the old pal does. Just with a special kind of vermouth.
The recipe comes from the year 1927, with the publication of Barflies and Cocktails. Another peculiarity it shares with the boulevardier is that it was named after an American who lived in Paris. In this case, he was the newspaper editor for The New York Herald William “Sparrow” Robinson. Harry MacElhone, a bar owner who had a hand in the creation of the boulevardier, is credited with the creation of Old Pal.
The combination of sweet vermouth and Campari is just too sweet for a raw, summer cocktail. By using dry vermouth, the old pal immediately becomes one of the most refreshing summer cocktails around. It's an even more refreshing version of the common 3 ingredient formula, i.e., base liquor, Campari, vermouth. The complexity & bitterness of Campari shines a light on the slow-burning spice of rye whiskey but disarms it. The whole combination is perfect for warm, summer sipping. This here is one of the best summer whiskey cocktails and one among the best summer cocktails in general.
Old Pal Ingredients
- One ounce of rye whiskey
- One ounce of Campari
- One ounce of dry vermouth
- Lemon peel
Old Pal Recipe
- Add all ingredients in a shaker with ice and mix properly.
- Strain into a cocktail grass.
- Garnish with a lemon peel.
