Your new favorite: The New York sour

Now I firmly believe that one cannot call themselves a cocktail enthusiast until they’ve had a whiskey sour with egg white. This drink is a twist on an oh so dreamy friend with its creamy texture, subtle sweetness, and gentle tartness. You can get quite the array of flavors just from this one drink. You can swap the simple syrup for maple, use limes instead of lemons, switch out the whiskey for different flavor profiles, and finally top it off with different wines. There are endless possibilities leading to a new experience every time you take a sip. This drink is amazing no matter how to take it. The world is your cocktail. Here how I made mine at home
- 1 egg white (do this first so you don’t mess up an entire cocktail if you get some yolk in)
- ¾ oz of lemon juice (I used lime in this one)
- ¾ oz of simple syrup
- 2 oz of whiskey (today I used Dickel)
Dry shake ingredients in a cocktail shaker (shake without ice), then add your ice again and vigorously shake for around 30 seconds. Strain into a rocks glass or tumbler with fresh ice. Take your bar spoon (or table spoon in my case. Things got a bit messy) and slowly pour wine over the backside to float wine near the surface for a beautiful looking sunset in a glass.
And as always, sit back, take a sip, and enjoy
