Chicago Sour

This is the whiskey version of the Gin Tin Tin. I can't help but notice that the blog is becoming very drink-heavy.... it must be the pandemic....

2 oz. whiskey
1 oz. fresh lemon juice*
1 oz. red wine syrup
l Luxardo cherry
orange peel or lemon peel or both- rub on the rim of the glass first
Shake with ice and pour over ice or serve straight up.

*always fresh- never the bottled stuff

Red Wine Syrup:
equal parts red wine and sugar, stirred over low heat just until sugar is dissolved; cooled
