Whiskey Sour (1 Fl Oz)

Choose a smaller Whiskey Sour or ask for half the usual simple syrup; avoid pre-made sour mix, which is often heavily sweetened.

Have it with a protein- and fiber-rich snack first, such as plain Greek yogurt, nuts, or hummus with non-starchy vegetables, rather than drinking on an empty stomach.

Request fresh lemon juice, soda water, and a low- or no-sugar sweetener instead of standard sour mix or syrup.

Sip slowly and alternate with water to reduce how quickly the drink is consumed.

Avoid pairing it with sugary mixers, dessert, chips, or refined-carb snacks; choose olives, cheese, vegetables, or a small handful of nuts instead.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after drinking, if safe and appropriate for you.
