  • 30 ml fresh lemon juice : Freshly squeezed lemon juice is essential to achieve the perfect balance between acidity and freshness in the drink. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, as fresh juice enhances the flavours and gives the cocktail a vibrant touch.
  • 15 ml sugar syrup : Made by combining sugar and water in equal proportions, this syrup provides the sweetness needed to balance the acidity of the lemon and soften the strong notes of the whiskey. You can adjust it to taste if you prefer a sweeter or more acidic cocktail.

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the cocktail shaker :
    Start with a clean, dry cocktail shaker. Add a good amount of ice to the shaker; this will help chill the ingredients and blend the flavors well. The amount of ice you use should be enough to chill the drink, but not so much that it melts quickly and dilutes the cocktail.

  2. Add the liquid ingredients :
    Pour 45 ml of Whisky Reves in the cocktail shaker. This high-end whisky, with its smoky and spicy profile, is the soul of your Whiskey Sour . Then, add 30 ml fresh lemon juice . It is important that you use freshly squeezed juice, as the flavor of fresh lemon enhances the drink significantly, providing a vibrant acidity that will be balanced by the sweetness of the syrup. Next, add 15 ml sugar syrup . If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, you can adjust the amount of syrup, but 15 ml is usually the perfect amount to balance the flavors.

  3. Shake well :
    Close the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. The goal is to chill the mixture thoroughly and allow the whiskey, lemon juice, and sugar syrup to meld together in a smooth, balanced manner. Shaking also helps to dissolve any sugar residue, ensuring your cocktail has a silky, even texture.

  4. Strain into the glass :
    Once you've shaken the mixture, open the shaker and strain the drink into a rocks glass, known as a Old Fashioned glass . This is ideal for this type of cocktail because it allows you to enjoy the mixture in its purest form. Make sure the glass has fresh ice (you can use large cubes or crushed ice, depending on your preference) to keep the drink cold while you enjoy it.

  5. Decorate the cocktail :
    Now it's time to put the finishing touches on your cocktail. Take a lemon peel , cut a thin strip with a peeler or knife, avoiding the white part, which is bitter. Squeeze it lightly over the glass to release the essential oils and then place it inside the glass as a decoration. If you prefer a more traditional touch, you can also opt for a cherry maraschino to decorate, adding a sweet and visually appealing touch.

  6. Ready to enjoy!
    And that's it! Now you have a delicious Whisky Sour Reves ready to enjoy. Serve it with a smile and get ready to enjoy a perfectly balanced, refreshing and sophisticated drink. The combination of the smoothness of the whiskey, the freshness of the lemon and the sweetness of the sugar syrup will make this cocktail become one of your favorites.
