Simple yet satisfying Whiskey Sour recipe
Ah, the Whiskey Sour, a classic cocktail that's been around since the 1800s. It's said that sailors used to mix lemon juice with their daily ration of whiskey to prevent scurvy, and thus, the Whiskey Sour was born. Now, it's a staple at any bar, and for good reason - it's delicious!
To make a perfect whiskey sour, it's essential to achieve the right balance. This recipe for whiskey sour ensures that you get the perfect combination of zesty lemon juice, smooth and aromatic bourbon, and sweet simple syrup. The result is a refreshing cocktail that's not overly sweet or too tart.
It's optional, but we love adding the egg white in the mix for that frothy goodness on top!
