Introduction: Emergency Cocktail for New Years Eve
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!
Step 1: Start
Get glass
Step 2: 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.
Step 3: Giv'em Three of Your Best
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.
Step 4:
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

Just one little, minor, niggle - Grants (full name Grants Standfast, at least here in UK) isn't Whiskey . . . . . . it's Whisky! - Scottish Malt, as opposed to American Rye.
Otherwise it's a nice 'ible and a handy tip - Thanks ;)

the spelling has nothing to do with whats in the mash. the government that regulates the labels does the spelling.
Whiskey, is also a generic term covering all spirits distilled for a mash grain.

Hi Jack - it was just a little leg-pull about "American-English" spelling, and our (much superior) Malt Whisky as made in Scotland ;-)
But does a bottle of Grant's really have "whiskEy" on the label if they are exporting to USA?

I agree, that Webster jury has I lot to answer for. I'm off to trader jo's later on for a wee dram. I'll check. I'm off to nz on tuseday, I will have a look there to.
