Back to basics with a standard whiskey sour recipe - whiskey, lemon, simple syrup and a touch of bitters combine to create an easy sipping tipple for a warm afternoon in the sun. Or late night by the pool.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz bourbon whiskey
  • ¾ oz fresh lemon juice
  • ¾ oz simple syrup (I used champagne simple because that's what I had)
  • ¾ oz egg white or aquafaba
  • Garnish: Angostura or Black walnut bitters dropped onto the foam

Instructions
 

  • Combine ingredients into a shaker with one cube of ice. Shake for 30 seconds. Open the shaker, add in a heap of ice, close the shaker and shake again. This time for 30 to 60 seconds. Alternately, shake with ice first to chill, strain into a chilled mixing glass or shaker and use milk frother for 10 to 15 seconds to build the foam. Strain into the cocktail glass whichever method you use. Strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe glass and garnish with a few drops of angostura bitters dropped on the top of the cocktail.

Notes

To make the champagne simple syrup, take 1 cup of champagne and add 1 cup of sugar. Heat it just enough for the sugar to dissolve, then take it off the stove, let cool completely and refrigerate.
