Homemade Whiskey Sours

A tradition at our family Christmas, your Grandma G. found this recipe from Martha Stewart!

1 small lemon wedge for wetting rim of glass
Turbinado sugar, for rimming glass
1/4 C. Maker's Mark
1/4C. freshly squeezed orange juice
3 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp. granulated sugar
1 C. ice cubes

Oven-Dried Orange Slices:

1 navel orange, very thinly sliced
1/4 C. powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 200*. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Top with orange slices in a single layer, and generously dust with sugar. Bake until the peels are dry and the flesh is translucent, about 2 1/2 hours. Makes the house smell FABULOUS!

Whiskey Sours:

Dip the wetted rim of the glass in turbinado sugar to coat; set aside.

In a cocktail shaker, combine Maker's Mark, orange juice, lemon juice, granulated sugar, and ice. Cover, and shake vigorously until all ingredients are well combined and cold. Pour into prepared glass, and garnish with orange slice.
