QUICK TIPS

While this recipe calls for rye whiskey, a premium bourbon or blended whiskey will work too.

Using real lemons is essential if you want to create that perfect balance of sweet and sour. Bottled juice has an artificial taste and will ruin the flavor.

The sweetness level of your New York Sour is up to you. Start with a small amount of simple syrup, taste and adjust if needed.
