Whiskey Sour


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 drink 1x

Description

Whiskey sour with lemon and simple syrup. From Olivia at Flavors.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces (60ml) bourbon
  • 1 ounce (30ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 ounce (22ml) simple syrup
  • 1 egg white, optional, for foam
  • Ice
  • Lemon twist or cherry, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Add bourbon, lemon, syrup, and egg white if using to a shaker. Shake 15 seconds without ice if you want foam.
  2. Add ice and shake hard until the tin is frosty.
  3. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice, or up into a coupe if you used the egg white.
  4. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Notes

Bottled lemon juice tastes flat. Fresh lemon is the drink. Skip the egg white if you do not want foam. Use a pasteurized white if you do.
