Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz whiskey (bourbon or rye)
- 0.75 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 0.5 oz simple syrup
- 1 large egg white (optional)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 piece orange slice or maraschino cherry (for garnish)
Instructions
If using an egg white, place it in the cocktail shaker first to avoid contamination in case of an accidental shell.
Add whiskey, freshly squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white (if using) to the shaker.
Seal the shaker and dry shake (shake without ice) vigorously for about 10 seconds. This helps to emulsify the egg white for a frothy texture.
Add a cup of ice cubes to the shaker and shake again for 15–20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice or serve it straight up in a coupe glass, depending on your preference.
Garnish with an orange slice or a maraschino cherry.
Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly balanced Whiskey Sour II.
