A Twist on a Classic

Live Beautifully

The Cherry Whiskey Sour

We all know and love the classic Whiskey Sour. But sometimes, you want to take a familiar favorite and give it a little twist. That's where the Cherry Whiskey Sour comes in! This delicious cocktail combines the rich smokiness of rye whiskey with the tart sweetness of cherries, making for a drink that's both refreshing and complex.


This recipe from Locke & Co. Distilling uses their Aspen Aged Rye Whiskey, but any good rye whiskey will do. The addition of cherry juice and a touch of egg white gives the drink a beautiful pink hue and a luxuriously frothy texture.



So, if you're looking for a new twist on a classic cocktail, be sure to give the Cherry Whiskey Sour a try!
