Whiskey Sour anyone?

I once was a regular whiskey drinker. I'd drink my Jack Daniels straight out the bottle at times and would order a whiskey sour from time to time while out at the bars. I eventually switched to vodka, and pretty much put whiskey behind me, other than the occasional whiskey sour still from time to time.

Someone recently said to me that anyone who likes whiskey doesn't put the sour mix in it. 😮 Well, if that's the case then I guess I don't like whiskey LOL but these days, that's the only way I like my whiskey quite honestly. And I've known quite a few people in my life that do enjoy a good whiskey sour. We've got a list of 6 spots in the Hudson Valley where you can get a good whiskey sour.
