The classic citrusy whiskey drink can be made with rye for a lighter, fresher taste, or bourbon, for a more robust version.
2 ounces bourbon or rye
3/4 ounce lemon juice
3/4 ounce simple syrup
lemon peel twist or maraschino cherry for garnish
Place bourbon, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a shaker and fill with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into an old fashioned glass over ice. Garnish and serve!
