Whiskey Sour

They played a little fast and loose.

A good bartender will ask whether you want this up or down. I've never once seen a whiskey sour served in a cocktail glass. An amaretto sour, sure, but that's a sweeter drink. An old-fashioned glass (a bucket, a "rocks" glass) is more appropriate for the whiskey sour.

Second, a good bar won't use a mix, they'll muddle the sweet-and-sour per order. It's just sugar, water, and some lemon or lime. Ten seconds, 15 tops.

And, of course, if you add bitters, a cherry, and optionally orange, you've got an Old Fashioned, one of the finest cocktails man knows.
