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.

Make a cocktail for a crowd

This recipe can easily be adjusted to whet the whistle of a crowd. I've done the math for you. This amount will serve 10. Easily multiply from there! I like to serve cocktails like this in a drink dispenser to make it easy for a grab-and-go beverage.

  • 2 ½ Cups Whiskey or Bourbon — This is the equivalent of 1.5 shots per serving
  • ⅔ Cup Lemon Juice — Or about 5 fresh limes (plus more for serving)
  • ½ Cup Agave Nectar — This will make it slightly sweeter, so feel free to adjust as preferred.
  • ⅔ Cup Black Cherry Juice — More or less to taste.
  • 2 ½ Cups Seltzer Water — (40 fluid ounces) Unsweetened is best.

If using a large pitcher or drink dispenser, serve with ice and cherries or lemon slices. Or to make a self-serve cocktail bar, serve items separately. I like to put fruit on these little skewers.

Here at The Oven Light, we are always looking for ways to cut cooking time in half (or more!). We use shortcuts that don’t sacrifice flavor, we’re just getting smarter with our time. You won’t find “dump” meals here, but rather an approach to cooking that is mindful and intentional with time AND taste.
