The key to an excellent whiskey sour is getting the balance just right. This whiskey sour recipe has all the right proportions of bright, bracing lemon juice; warming, floral bourbon; and sweet simple syrup to deliver a refreshing cocktail that’s neither too cloying nor too biting.
Using freshly squeezed juice is essential—the stuff that comes out of fruit-shaped squeeze bottles doesn’t even compare. If you don’t have any lemon on hand, you can swap it out for lime (or a mixture of the two). Serve on the rocks with an orange wheel and a maraschino cherry.

Back in the day, before perfecting his own pot-distilled spirit, before building a distillery was even a far-off dream, Tito created homemade vodka infusions. Every time a holiday or housewarming came along, he’d buy the cheapest vodka off the shelf. Then he’d pick up a few fresh ingredients, toss them in a jar, fill it up with his liquor store haul, and craft his own infusions to give as gifts. Sure, he was broke, but he knew how to make people smile with spirits and wouldn’t let a price tag stop him.
