Crafting the Whiskey Stone Sour
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 oz Whiskey
- 1/2 oz Apricot Brandy
- 3/4 oz Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 1/2 oz Orange Juice
- 1 TB Simple Syrup
Simple Syrup Tip:
If you don’t have pre-made Simple Syrup, it’s a breeze to prepare.
Boil equal parts of sugar and water, let it simmer for 10 minutes until it achieves a syrupy consistency, and voila! You can store it in the fridge for a couple of weeks.
Mixing It Up
- Fill your Cocktail Shaker halfway with ice.
- Add Whiskey, Apricot Brandy, Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice, Orange Juice, and Simple Syrup.
- Shake vigorously for 20 seconds to create that frothy goodness.
- Strain the concoction into a highball glass over a large ice cube.
Garnishing the Game Day Elixir
No cocktail is complete without the finishing touches. Garnish your Whiskey Stone Sour with an Orange Wheel and a Cherry, adding a visual appeal that matches its flavorful profile.
Pre-Game Prep
Looking to enjoy the game without constant bartending?
Prepare a big pitcher of Whiskey Stone Sours the night before. Keep it chilling in the fridge until it’s game time. Set up an ice cooler, glasses, and a dish with pre-assembled orange and cherry picks.
Let your guests help themselves while you cheer on your team, relishing every sip of your Super Bowl Whiskey Stone Sour.
