National Whiskey Sour Day is Sunday, August 25. \u00a0Not only is it an excellent excuse to drink, it\u2019s the perfect opportunity to learn how to make one of America\u2019s classic cocktails.<\/p>\n

Arizona Foothills spoke with Ross Simon \u2014\u00a0Co-founder of\u00a0Arizona Cocktail Week and future owner of \u00a0Bitter & Twisted, a cocktail bar set to open in downtown phoenix this \u00a0fall\u00a0\u2014 about the fundamentals of the perfect Whiskey Sour.<\/p>\n

Whiskey Sour Basics<\/h3>\n

First, it\u2019s important to know that a great whiskey sour, requires two things: correctly portioned ingredients and a quality spirit.<\/p>\n

The cocktail is two parts spirit, one part sweet-syrup and one part sour component like lemon or lime \u2014\u00a0over a lot of ice. Simon explains that the goal is to make the cocktail \u201cnot too tart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Start with a quality spirit: \u201cwhiskey doesn\u2019t have to be expensive, to be good quality,\u201d explains Simon. Makers Mark, Jim Bean and Knob Creek, all made his list of quality spirits that mix well into cocktails.<\/p>\n

He notes that the sour component should enhance the spirit.<\/p>\n

Shaken, Not Stirred<\/h3>\n

Many things work as proper substitutes to a shaker,\u00a0\u201cyou don\u2019t need to get fancy, you can use a Mason jar instead of a shaker, getting the portions right is what matters,\u201d says Simon.<\/p>\n

If a drink pours too tart, it\u2019s fixed easily by adding \u00a0more syrup.\u00a0If it\u2019s too strong, adding water can dull the drink down. Some people choose to add .5 oz of egg white to mellow the citrus tones and create a frothy consistency.<\/p>\n

The interchangeable parts in a sour are what make this drink fun. A person can interchange the spirit base \u2014\u00a0for example substituting one part whiskey for sloe gin\u00a0\u2014 or use a flavored fruit syrup instead of an unflavored one to create an exotic interpretation of the drink. For example, \u00a0Simon\u2019s Whiskey Passion Fruit Sour uses\u00a0.75 oz Monin Passion fruit syrup (see recipes on page two).<\/p>\n

Not everyone is into DIY cocktails, in that case Simon suggests\u00a0Crudo<\/a> or Virtu<\/a>.<\/p>\n
