WHISKEY SOUR WITH EGG WHITE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine bourbon, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker.
• Fill shaker with ice, cover, and shake vigorously until outside of shaker is very cold, about 20 seconds.
• Strain cocktail through a Hawthorne strainer or a slotted spoon into an old-fashioned or rocks glass filled with ice. Garnish with orange wheel and cherry.

Steps:

• For the sugar syrup, put the caster sugar in a small non-stick saucepan over a medium heat and pour in the water. Stir and bring to the boil. CAUTION: boiling sugar is extremely hot. Handle very carefully. Use a deep pan to avoid bubbling over.
• Once the sugar has dissolved and the liquid is clear, take the pan off the heat and leave to cool.
• Pour 15ml/1 tablespoon of the cooled sugar syrup into a cocktail shaker with the bourbon, lemon juice, egg white and bitters. First, ‘dry shake’ the mixture (without any ice) vigorously for 8-10 seconds. Then fill the cocktail shaker with ice and shake again for the same amount of time. This will give the drink a lovely smooth texture.
• Strain the whiskey sour into a rocks glass using a hawthorne cocktail strainer and a fine mesh strainer. If you don’t have a strainer, any kitchen sieve will work just as well.
