Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the whiskey, fresh lemon juice, turbinado sugar, house bitters, and egg white. Ensure that the sugar is fully dissolved.

  2. 2

    Dry Shake

    Seal the shaker and perform a dry shake (without ice) for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create a frothy texture.

  3. 3

    Add Ice and Shake

    Open the shaker and add ice (preferably large ice cubes). Seal the shaker again and shake vigorously for another 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or rocks glass. Optionally, you can fine strain to remove any ice shards.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Enjoy

    Garnish with a lemon twist or cherry if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Whiskey Sour!
