Quick and Easy Whiskey Sour.  

Ran out of time? Need something to take to that party but cant be bothered spending loads and lugging 3 - 4 individual bottles? I have the drink for you !!! From the co-inventer (not actually associated in any way) of the Kitten Mittens! 

The No Fuss Whiskey Sour!

Start

Ice

This is, arguably, the most important step in any good drink. The ice, yes the ice. Starting with the highest quality ice possible is essential, and the difference between a good and great cocktail.  

It doesn't have to be shaped in Titanic and iceberg shapes, but it does help. Some will forgive a taste of chlorine if it's decorative.

Three fingers of whiskey over the ice. 

I get a very reasonable drop of Grant's from Trader Joe's for USD$11.99. I think this price is restricted to California. As when I was in Boston earlier this year is was 30 bucks !? and TJ's didn't even have it.

Add sour (Trader Joe's Lemonade) to taste 

Next step is to drink it, or combine it into a bigger bottle for transport .

HAPPY NEW YEAR !! burp hic
