Cherry Whiskey Sour Recipe (Smooth & Tart!)

This cherry whiskey sour recipe uses maraschino cherries and their juice as the sweetener. It’s easy to make and oh, so smooth and tart!

We recently shared with you an amazing orange whiskey sour recipe, and we figured it was time to come around again with a different variation: the cherry whiskey sour.

The egg white is left out of this version, but we didn’t skimp on one important thing – the egg white whipped cream on top.

Maybe it’s because I’m a girl, but I love cherry cocktails . . . however this one doesn’t seem too feminine just by looks alone.

The flavor is smooth and tart – good enough that a man will get over any girly drink hesitations just to have one. The egg white whipped cream on top is a must in my opinion. Learn how to make this delicious whiskey sour cocktail below.
