Ya Basic Whiskey Sour
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
- ¾ oz egg white or aquafaba optional
- Garnish: 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. Double strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe glass (or on the rocks if you've omitted the eggwhite/aquafaba and garnish with a few drops of angostura bitters dropped on the top of the cocktail.
Notes
Note: 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.
