Whiskey Sour

The Whiskey Sour is a classic sour-style cocktail made with bourbon, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Originating in the U.S. in the 1870s, it balances the bold character of whiskey with the bright acidity of lemon and a hint of sweetness. For a smoother, frothy texture, egg white is often added.

1. 1. Add whiskey, lemon juice, syrup, and egg white to a shaker and dry shake first.
2. 2. Add ice and shake again until well chilled.
3. 3. Strain into a chilled glass.
4. 4. Garnish with an orange slice or maraschino cherry.
