Notes

Simple Whiskey Sour

Tennessee is known for lots of great things, but we do take great pride in our whiskey. If you want to sample another Tennessee flavor while you're cooking, look no further than the whiskey sour. First, combine 2 ounces of your favorite Tennessee whiskey, 1 ounce of simple syrup and 1 ounce of lemon juice in a cocktail shaker. Then, add a few ice cubes, shake it all together and strain into a glass. Sip while you're grilling and start humming along to Chris Stapleton.
