Ingredients for a Black Cherry Whiskey Sour

• Whiskey – We actually used Bulleit Bourbon (after all, we live in Kentucky, the birthplace of bourbon) in this recipe. But your favorite whiskey or bourbon will work great.
  
• Lemon Juice – Fresh lemon juice is preferred, but the juice in a bottle works in a pinch.
  
• Agave Nectar – Or your favorite liquid sweetener.
  
• Black Cherry Juice – We had no problem finding good quality black cherry juice at our local supermarket. Get unsweetened if you can. If you can only find sweetened cherry juice, leave out the agave nectar.
  
• Seltzer Water – Rachel prefers this drink with just a touch of seltzer, and Amy prefers mostly seltzer with just a hint of alcohol. That’s the great thing about this drink, feel free to adjust quantities to your personal tastes.
  
• Cocktail ice cube – We purchased this cocktail ice tray and love it!
  
• Cherry and lemon wedge – These make a pretty (and tasty) garnish.
