I have never been a whiskey girl. If it isn't sweet, I don't drink it. Whiskey has always just tasted a little too boozy for me so I stayed away from it. So when I mentioned to Kyle that I wanted to try to substitute honey whiskey he was all for it. My guy loves a good whiskey sour.
The weather was warmer this weekend so I decided to make a batch of our own sour mix.The bottled kind is fine, but it tastes very sugary and artificial. I prefer to get my sugar coma from something a little more cupcake-y.
Sour mix could not be any simpler to make. This makes a large container.
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 cup lemon
1 cup lime
I stirred the sugar and water together until the sugar dissolved. Then I added the lemon and lime. That's it!
I added two ounces of honey whiskey and four ounces of our sour mix. It is fun and simple to make!
We spent the rest of the day outside with the pups and family. It is almost time to get back outside and in our pool! Almost is a little too strong a word considering we are being hit by another cold front, but we savor those nice sunny weekend days while we have them.
