Bourbon Sour

I'm not much of a drinker. When I do, it's often some fruity cocktail -- often citrus. I had the bourbon out for a bourbon caramel sauce (have to post that recipe later...), so decided to mix up a simple version of a bourbon sour (recipe complements of Evan Faber @ Salt bistro in Boulder, CO)

Mix roughly equal parts:  
bourbon
vanilla simple syrup*
lemon juice

Suit your own taste... Evan's recipe is actually 3 parts bourbon, 2 parts each vanilla syrup & lemon.

* Make your own (sugar, water, and vanilla, often boiled to dissolve more sugar) or use a prepared, bottle syrup like the Torani syrups or other brands readily available at supermarkets.
