Whiskey Sours date back to the 1860s and were a common drink among sailors who drank spirits when water was in short supply. Lemons or limes were added to the drink to prevent scurvy, which was common among sailors, and water and sugar were added for taste. 

Today, you can buy a premade Whiskey Sour mix. The only problem with these powdered or bottled sour mixes is that they come with a whole lot of sugar. Fortunately, you can swap out the premade drinks and replace them with a delicious sugar-free Whiskey Sour, made all on your own. 

Whiskey sours are traditionally made with bourbon, but any kind of blended whiskey will work. 

Ingredients

  • 1.5 ounces whiskey
  • 1.5 ounces lemon juice
  • 1.5 ounces water
  • 1 packet stevia
  • 1 wedge lemon, for garnish

Preparation

  1. Put the ingredients in a cocktail shaker half-full of ice. Shake well.
  2. Strain into a glass (rocks glass, sour glass, martini glass, or whichever glass you prefer).
  3. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
