Frisky Sours
Frisky Sours is a refreshing, citrus-flavored cocktail blending orange-grapefruit and lemonade concentrates with whiskey, perfect for warm evenings or lively gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a blender container, combine the orange-grapefruit juice concentrate, lemonade concentrate, whiskey, and cold water.
- Cover; blend just until mixed.
- Serve over ice, if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother blend, let the frozen concentrates sit at room temperature for a few minutes before combining them in the blender. If you're looking for a lighter option, consider substituting half the whiskey with club soda or tonic water. This cocktail can also benefit from a splash of fresh citrus juice for added brightness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Frisky Sours in tall glasses over ice for a refreshing drink. It pairs perfectly with light appetizers like shrimp cocktails or a fresh salad. For a fun twist, garnish with a slice of orange or a maraschino cherry to enhance its festive appeal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Frisky Sours in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply blend the mixture with ice again for a refreshing slushy texture. If the mixture separates, just give it a quick stir before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Frisky Sours in advance?
Yes! You can prepare the mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Just remember to give it a good stir or blend again before serving to ensure the flavors are well combined.
What type of whiskey works best for this recipe?
A smooth bourbon or rye whiskey works best in this cocktail, as they complement the citrus flavors beautifully. However, feel free to use your favorite whiskey to personalize it to your taste.
Can I adjust the sweetness of the Frisky Sours?
Absolutely! If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a bit more frozen lemonade concentrate or a splash of simple syrup. Conversely, for a less sweet version, reduce the amount of lemonade concentrate and increase the cold water.
