Looking for a delightful and refreshing twist on the classic whiskey sour? With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this recipe is sure to impress both whiskey enthusiasts and those new to the world of mixology.
Pour whiskey into a lowball glass. Remember to start light-handed. If it's not strong enough, you can always add more later.

Fill the rest of the glass with club soda.
Taste and add more whiskey or sweetener as needed.
Garnish with a lemon slice and mint, and enjoy!
Notes
While lemon juice is the classic choice for whiskey sour, you can also use other citrus juices such as lime, orange, or grapefruit juice. Feel free to combine different citrus fruits and come up with unique whiskey sour variations!
For a strong lemon flavor and aroma on your skinny whiskey sour, muddle lemon wedges into the bottom of the glass. You can also muddle ginger, basil, thyme, or cherries to add complexity to your homemade cocktail.
Make sure to mix the cocktail ingredients thoroughly for a well-balanced flavor profile. It's up to you to choose between mixing directly in the prepared glass or using a cocktail shaker with ice for your whiskey sour.
