For sailors in the 1700 and 1800's, a Whiskey Sour was considered the best a man could drink. In a whisky sour, the lemon juice is (almost) as vital as the bourbon. A generous, foamy top is what you're aiming for.
Ingredients
-
100g soft light brown sugar
-
50ml whisky or bourbon
-
25ml lemon juice
-
1 egg white
Method
-
Put the sugar and 100ml water in a pan and heat gently, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Cool.
- This will make more than you need but will keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks.
- Put the whisky, lemon juice, egg white and 25ml of the brown sugar syrup into a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously for 15-30 seconds.
- Strain into coupe or martini glass and serve.
