How to Properly Celebrate National Whiskey Sour Day
AOL News ^ | 8/25

The correct way to celebrate whiskey sour day is place two ice cubes into a tumbler, fill with an excellent quality whiskey and then drink.

I like the list of suggested bourbons. Pappy Van Winkle 15 and 20 year-old, for $58 and $93, respectively? Those sell for around that much for a one-ounce pour in bars that can get the stuff.

National tequila day (July 24) is also my birthday. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

What is this strange stuff you call ice that you put into your whiskey?

The night I graduated from high school (1965), a friend of mine had a party. I had my first taste of whiskey in several highballs. I ended up very tipsy, puked my guts out, and felt crappy all week. I’ve never been able to stand the smell of whiskey since. Now I’m a diabetic, and don’t drink any alcohol at all. Sure miss having a Margarita or Bloody Mary every now and then.

As we say, keep your ice out of my whiskey and I’ll keep my whiskey out of your ice.

Is that why you can never remember your birthday?

I hate to admit it, but I am a wus. I like a little water my whiskey from the cubes melting and I like my whiskey slightly chilled, hence only two cubes. On the other hand, I will drink a good single malt straight up.

I think I ordered a whiskey sour once just to find out what it tasted like. Looked up a recipe and found that sour is really just lemonade, so...

Two shots of a good blended Canadian whiskey over ice, fill the rest of a tall glass with limeade and, having no maraschinos, a splash of cherry bitters and I'm doin' fine.

Cheers and Happy Whiskey Sours to You and Yours!
