"A whiskey sour is one of Jack's favorite cocktails to order when we go out to dinner. Made with bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, and optional egg white, it's brighter than most whiskey drinks, which Jack thinks makes it the perfect start to a good meal. It also means that though I'm not usually a whiskey drinker, I do enjoy a whiskey sour. I love its sweet/tart flavor, rich texture, and foamy top."
"Egg white - It creates the distinctive layer of foam on top of a whiskey sour. It also gives it a richer, almost creamy texture and mellows the tartness of the lemon. We like it in this drink, but if you're squeamish about using raw egg white (totally fair, like all raw eggs, it poses a small risk of illness), you can skip it. The cocktail will be even tangier and have a lighter, more refreshing texture."
Whiskey sour combines bourbon, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and an optional egg white to create a sweet, tart, rich, and refreshing cocktail. Bourbon is the classic choice for its sweet, oaky notes, though other whiskeys like rye or scotch can be used. Freshly squeezed lemon juice provides bright tartness, while simple syrup balances sweetness. Egg white produces a signature foam, adds creaminess, and softens lemon tartness; omitting it yields a tangier, lighter drink. The cocktail is easy to make in a shaker and suits fall and winter rotations.
