Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: N/A

Total Time: 10 minutes

Servings: 1 Cocktail

Instructions:

1. Fill your cocktail shaker with ice cubes to chill the ingredients and dilute the cocktail slightly for a smoother taste.

2. Measure 2 ounces of Jack Daniels whiskey using a jigger, and pour it over the ice in your shaker.

3. Cut a fresh lemon in half and use a citrus juicer to extract 3/4 ounce of lemon juice. Add the freshly squeezed juice into the shaker with the whiskey.

4. Pour in 1/2 ounce of simple syrup into the shaker to balance the tartness of the lemon juice with a touch of sweetness.

5. Secure the lid onto your cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients.

6. Open your shaker and, using a Hawthorne strainer, pour the mix into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice cubes, capturing any remaining ice chips.

7. For garnish, slice an orange and place it on the rim of the glass or float it on top of the cocktail. Add a maraschino cherry for that classic Whiskey Sour presentation.

8. Toast to your handiwork, sit back, and savor the perfect balance you've achieved in your very own Classic Whiskey Sour cocktail.

Cooking Tips:

- For the best flavor, always use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled.

- If the cocktail is too tart or too sweet for your taste, adjust the amount of lemon juice or simple syrup the next time you make it.

- To make your own simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water, heat until the sugar dissolves, allow it to cool, and then use as needed.
