WHISKEY SOUR

Dust off that cocktail shaker and mix yourself - or your dinner party guests - a classic whiskey sour. You can make it without egg white, but it won't be as silky

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

50ml bourbon
35ml lemon juice
12½ml 2:1 sugar syrup
2 dashes Angostura bitters
½ fresh egg white
ice
50p-sized piece of lemon zest
slice of orange and a cherry on a stick

Steps:

  • Shake all of the ingredients (except for the lemon zest) hard with ice and strain into an ice-filled rocks glass. Squeeze the lemon zest, shiny side down over the drink so the scented oils spray across the surface. Discard the zest, add the garnish and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Bottled or store-bought lemon juice can be used, but it won't produce as bright and flavorful a cocktail.
  • If you don't have simple syrup, you can make your own by dissolving 1 cup of sugar in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, then let cool before using.
  • For a sweeter cocktail, add an extra 1/2 ounce of simple syrup. For a tarter cocktail, reduce the simple syrup to 1/2 ounce or omit it altogether.
  • If you don't have egg white, you can use 1/2 ounce of aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas) instead. Aquafaba will give the cocktail a similar frothy texture as egg white.
  • Serve the whiskey sour immediately after making it. The cocktail will start to lose its foam and become watery after a few minutes.

Conclusion:

The whiskey sour is a classic cocktail that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by everyone. It is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are hosting a party or just relaxing at home, the whiskey sour is a great choice. With its simple ingredients and delicious taste, the whiskey sour is sure to become a favorite in your home bar.
