Whiskey Sidecar v2.0

We're back to Brown Liquor Season, and I've updated my previous recipe this year.

Today I took an hour or so to make a syrup that will vastly simplify the mixing process through the winter. Here's what I did:

1. Juice 2 Lemons, 2 Limes, and 2 Oranges into a measuring cup. I got about 1 3/4 C out of mine.
2. Make a simple syrup of equal volume. I used [Whole Foods 365 Organic Turbinado] Raw Sugar, for what it's worth.
3. Combine 1 + 2 into a bottle, and refrigerate the resultant syrup.

Now, at cocktail hour, your drink is five easy steps away:

1. Fill a shaker halfway with ice.
2. Add 2 1/2 oz. syrup.
3. Add 2 1/2 oz. whiskey. I prefer Maker's Mark.
4. Shake vigorously and strain into a rocks glass with a big ice cube in it.
5. Tell the kids to pipe down, and Enjoy!

If anything, my ratios yielded a syrup that's a little too sweet. I might halve the simple syrup next time, but for now I can just add more whiskey to reduce the sweetness.
