Whiskey Sour
Serves 1
This whiskey sour recipe is one of our favorite classic cocktails! I'm not usually a whiskey drinker, and I still love its sweet and tart flavor. Add the egg white to give it a foamy top and thicker texture, or skip it for a lighter, brighter drink. Both ways are delicious!
Ingredients
- 2 ounces bourbon
- ¾ ounce fresh lemon juice
- ½ ounce simple syrup
- ½ ounce egg white, optional
- Ice
- Angostura bitters, for garnish
- Orange slice, for garnish

Instructions
- Place the bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white, if using, in a cocktail shaker. Shake for 30 seconds to incorporate the egg white, then add ice and shake until well chilled.
- Strain into a rocks glass with ice. Garnish with 3 to 4 drops of Angostura bitters, an orange slice, and maraschino cherry and serve.
