In her #1 New York Times bestseller “Barefoot Contessa at Home,” author Ina Garten writes, “I believe in keeping cocktails simple.” She demonstrates that with her recipe for Fresh Whiskey Sours.

Ina Garten’s Fresh Whiskey Sours
Make 4 Cocktails

Ingredients:

3/4 cup Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 3 lemons)
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 4 limes)
2/3 cup sugar syrup
Maraschino cherries

Instructions:

In a mixing glass, combine the whiskey, lemon juice, lime juice, and sugar syrup. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice, then pour in the mixture until it reaches two-thirds full. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds, then strain into chilled martini glasses. Top each glass with a maraschino cherry and enjoy while ice cold.
