Louis and I threw a #CocktailParty2019 to celebrate our new blender and my sister, Jessica, visiting from Calgary. Her good friends Danielle and Chelsea were also there.

Chelsea and I found ourselves in the kitchen creating a perfectly trashy version of a signature cocktail: the Whiskey Sour with hints of a New York Sour.

Think of it as a reverse Ina Garten recipe: store bought really is fine. The whole point of this drink is to revel in being upscale with undertones of being trashy and cheap. New money in Hollywood, if you will.

I mean, we did go for freshly squeezed lemon juice. You could go for the metallic-tasting bottled stuff but even we have standards.

We hope you enjoy a Trash Sour as we head into patio season. Here's how you make it:

Trash Sour Recipe

This makes 2-4 serving depending on your glass size and how full they are with ice.

Splash of cheap, boxed red wine
