To make a Whiskey Sour with Jack Daniel's, you'll need a few simple ingredients. First, you'll need 2 oz. of Jack Daniel's whiskey. This amount can be adjusted to suit your personal preference for the strength of the cocktail. If you prefer a stronger drink, you can add a bit more whiskey.

Traditionally, Whiskey Sours also include an egg white, which gives the cocktail a frothy and creamy texture. Adding an egg white is completely optional, but it does lend a luxurious mouthfeel to the drink. If you choose to include an egg white, you'll want to separate the yolk and whisk the egg white until it becomes frothy before adding it to the cocktail.

To prepare the Whiskey Sour, simply combine the 2 oz. of Jack Daniel's whiskey and 2 oz. of Whiskey Sour mix in a shaker with ice. If using an egg white, add it to the shaker as well. Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill the drink and combine all the flavors.

Once shaken, strain the cocktail into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice. The ice will help to keep the drink cold and dilute it slightly, making it more enjoyable to sip. You can garnish the Whiskey Sour with a lemon twist or cherry if desired, but it's not necessary.
