So here you go, below are five whiskey sour recipes in honor of National Whiskey Sour Day, try one, try them all!

Directions? Just add everything to a cocktail shaker or as I like to call it the “Make Do Method”.  The “Make Do Method” means I have an empty, clean jar with a lid, usually a jar that once held hamburger sliced Best Maid pickles, and you throw it all in there, put the top on and get to shaking.
