This blood orange whiskey sour is a delightful cocktail! It's sour and sweet and the best combination of flavors. It doesn't hurt that it's really pretty as well.

Why You'll Love this Whiskey Sour Recipe

Besides the fact that this is a super easy cocktail to pull together (just squeeze some citrus and shake it with a sweetener and whiskey!) it's got lovely flavorful notes that are both sweet and sour.

The blood orange brings a balanced citrus flavor that enhances the lemon, which can sometimes be a little mouth-puckering on it's own.

This cocktail is a beautiful deep orange-red color that would be great at a cocktails and canapés night or a holiday brunch.

Ingredients for this Cocktail

• 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 ounce freshly squeezed blood orange juice
• 1.5 ounces simple syrup
• 3 ounces whiskey or bourbon (we use Bulleit Rye)
