Whiskey sour

Bourbon, lemon, sugar and egg white for the foam: the benchmark sour-round balance.

Ingredients

  • 5 cl bourbon
  • 3 cl lemon
  • 2 cl cane sugar syrup
  • 1 piece egg white
  • 2 dash Angostura bitters
  • a shaker full ice cubes

Method

  1. Pour the bourbon, lemon juice, syrup and egg white into the shaker WITHOUT ice.
  2. Dry shake: shake hard for about ten seconds to emulsify the egg white.
  3. Open, add the ice cubes, and shake again until the shaker frosts your hands.
  4. Double-strain into an old fashioned glass with or without fresh ice.
  5. Let the foam stabilize for a few seconds.
  6. Draw a few dashes of bitters on the foam and drag a toothpick through them.
