Whiskey Sour

Prep time:

The sour family at its most recognisable: spirit, citrus and sugar, crowned by a silky foam that changes the texture entirely.

Ingredients

  • 50 ml bourbon
  • 25 ml lemon juice
  • 15 ml simple syrup
  • 1 egg white (optional, for the foam)
  • Angostura bitters to garnish

Preparation

  1. Add the bourbon, lemon, syrup and egg white to the shaker WITHOUT ice.
  2. Dry shake for 15 seconds to whip the egg white.
  3. Open, fill with ice and shake again for another 12 seconds.
  4. Strain into the glass over fresh ice and wait a few seconds for the foam to settle.
  5. Drop three dashes of bitters onto the foam and drag a toothpick through them.
