Whiskey Sour Pitcher
Ingredients
- 2 cups bourbon
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 cup simple syrup
- Angostura bitters a few dashes per glass
- Ice for serving
- Lemon wheels for garnish
- Maraschino cherries for garnish
Instructions
- Pour the bourbon, lemon juice, and simple syrup into a 2-quart pitcher.
- Stir for about 20 seconds, until the mixture looks cloudy and even, with no syrup pooling at the bottom.
- Cover and refrigerate the pitcher for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
- Fill each rocks glass with a single large ice cube.
- Pour the whiskey sour mixture over the ice, filling each glass nearly to the rim.
- Add a dash or two of bitters to the surface of each glass, then garnish with a lemon wheel and a cherry.
Good to Know
For the zero proof pitcher, replace the bourbon with 2 cups black tea brewed strong and cooled, and skip the bitters. The lemon and syrup carry the whole drink.
