CLASSIC WHISKEY SOUR
If it's not made from scratch, it ain't a Whiskey Sour. For a cleaner, classier looking drink, strain the lemon juice to remove seeds and pulp.

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

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.
