This Whiskey Sour recipe comes from a friend who adapted it from the original to contain less sugar and therefore, fewer calories. I, nor he, do not make any claims that this drink is "healthier" - it is merely made up of ingredients which those brands market that way. What he has done is substitute sugar syrup with Splenda and opted for a taller version by topping it off with Sprite Zero, which would make it more of a Collins-style. This one does taste pretty good, unlike many low-calorie drinks and I think he has it spot on as well with the recommendation of Jim Beam, but any whiskey will do.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 parts whiskey
- 1 part lemon juice
- 4 parts Sprite Zero
- 1 Tbsp Splenda
- maraschino cherry for garnish
