The Sour
Autumn 2021
This timeless cocktail offers a refreshing balance of sweet and tart.
2 oz bourbon or rye whisky
3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
1/2 to 3/4 oz simple syrup, to taste
1/2 oz egg white (optional)
Orange wheel or lemon peel for garnish
Add bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white, if using, to a cocktail shaker. Cover and dry-shake for 30 seconds without ice (skip this step if you’re not using egg white). Add ice, cover and shake vigorously until outside of shaker feels cold. Strain into a chilled glass filled with ice. Garnish with orange wheel. Makes 1 drink.
