Enjoying a classic Whiskey Sour tonight.

Whiskey, lemon juice, and simple syrup. And a marischino cherry. Yummy!

Hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend…

I ordered some online.

5. They are wonderful. Thank goodness for TraderJoe's! I can keep

them handy!

6. They came on a cheesecake I ordered in. I bought two

bottles and promptly gave one away when I remembered my diabetes. Wish we had Trader Joe's in Canada.

8. I often have an informal drinking session on Saturday nights.

Just a weekend catch-up.

3. My dad used to make Whiskey Sours for his friends at Christmas. One

family joked that it was like jet fuel.

9. Depending on the whiskey.

Tonight, it’s a blended; Suntori whiskey. Single malts are too strong for a whiskey sour.

10. Sounds delicious.

11. It is.

The whiskey sour is the first cocktail I used to drink with any regularity; back in my twenties. My mixer back then was Cutty Sark. My tastes have become more sophisticated since then.

12. Just something to ponder while enjoying a whiskey sour.

Maraschino cherries were developed in the 1920s by Ernest Weigand at Oregon Agricultural College (later Oregon State University).

13. I didn't know that!

Thank you!
