How to Make the Whiskey Cocktail Mixed Drink

Video Transcript

"This drink is a traditional cocktail. It's called a Whiskey Cocktail. I'll give you one guess what the main ingredient is. Now this is going to be made in to a cocktail glass, or if you don't have a cocktail glass, a martini glass, either or works. Let's fill our shaker glass full of ice. Now of course we have our martini glass, cocktail glass chilling off to the side. Primary ingredient is of course whiskey. You need two ounces of whiskey. Any blended whiskey will work. In this case we're going to use Canadian Club. And we'll break out our jigger to make sure we get our pours good. This is a one ounce jigger, so we'll do this twice, like so. Might want to sweeten this up a little bit so we're going to add some sugar syrup, just about a teaspoons worth. Yeah, sure, that's close enough, a dash of bitters, which you can pick up in the supermarket. Bitters actually isn't bitter tasting. It is the category for which that particular product falls in to. Just don't let that scare you from trying this cocktail. And then we're going to need to shake this up of course. Whoa, nice little love tap on the side, separates the glass and the shaker nicely. Let's dump, and we're going to add a cherry in this one. So let's strain this in to our glass. It's a nice color. Plunk, drop our cherry in. That looks really good, sophisticated even.
