Whiskey sour is, for me, the best cocktail. it's quite simplistic, yet still great. the sweet and sour plus with whatever whiskey you like it with, always provides a balanced and new experience in my opinion. the egg white is just the cherry on top (apart from the literal one of course :)) ), that frothiness is simply a piece of heaven. I've got a suggestion for the particularly sweet toothed people. make a Whiskey Sour with Jack Honey. I recommend it!

I literally just polished off a whiskey sour of my own right when I watched this video; it was even made with Bulleit too! Mine was a 1:1 ratio of lemon juice to simple syrup though. It was nicely balanced, but wasn't quite "sour" as far as sours go. Next time I'll try the ratios you showed here and see how it goes!

As an alternative to egg white, there’s always aquafaba! Or one can always use the 10 sec rule, i.e. leave the egg white, citrus and spirit 10 sec before before any shaking takes place. Either way, I’ve never encountered anyone getting sick from a “proper” sour but if a costumers is worried, it’s easily avoided.

I'm definitely not a bartender dealing with a heavy shift, I'm just a home bartender with time on my hands during lockdown, but I've always preferred the reverse dry shake. I do it before I shake the sour, so the drink doesn't dilute. By focusing on the egg white alone, it relieves me of some of the anxiety of working with a raw egg.
@BehindtheBar4 жыл бұрын
Totally fair enough pal! Depending how many you make you can also get little cartons of pasteurised egg whites from the supermarket- that’s what we use in the bar to eliminate any risks.

Love the texture and taste over all. Will def be trying this one again. Thank you for the vid! UPDATE: Mixed a second with the Angostura, a touch more simple syrup and bang. That was a blast.

I had an old Vintage Cocktail book It gave the history of the drinks and one thing about the Whiskey Sour that was mentioned was that using Bitters is a "new age thing".

Awesome video, Just like meringue the acid of lemon slows the coagulation of proteins in the egg white allowing for more oxygen to get trapped more effectively creating the fluffy whipped effect. Also, because the properties of the proteins in egg they reach colder temperatures quicker risking damaging the proteins preventing coagulation meaning no foam 😢 Love this cocktail and love the science !

At my age, I am always thinking of options to allow me to continue to enjoy cocktails. So, I have found that replacing the egg white with a teaspoon of Metamucil mixed with 0.05 oz water adds a similar texture , some additional sweetness from the sugar, and of course, improves the performance of the alimentary canal. It does change the color, but this seems okay when using the orange bitters. Your grandparents will thank you in the morning.

If egg whites don't do it for you(and they do add an amazing texture to the drink), another way to dress up a whiskey sour is a New York sour, which leaves out the egg but floats an ounce or so of red wine on top of it. The presentation is outstanding, and because there are so many wine varieties, you can really tailor the drink to a crowd.

Interesting! Original sour recipes didn’t include egg (they were more like scaled down Punches), so if we’re being pedantic a Whiskey Sour with egg white is actually a Boston Sour, but to me it’s always felt like when people insist a Vodka Martini is called a Kangaroo- sure, you’re technically correct but will anyone know what you’re talking about haha?
