Ina Garten's Fresh Whiskey Sours

We are adoring fans of the cheerful Ina Garten aka the Barefoot Contessa, chef and host of a Food Network show by the same nickname. We've taken a particular liking to her whiskey sour recipe which we think is a perfect after-work cocktail. So gather your career gal pals together after 5 and enjoy one today!

Ina Garten's Fresh Whiskey Sours

Ingredients
3/4 cup whiskey (recommended: Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey) Ina Garten's Fresh Whiskey Sours

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (4 limes)
