National Whiskey Sour Day: How to Make an Awesome Whiskey Sour Cocktails

A whiskey sour is made with whiskey (of course!), lemon juice, sugar and, if desired, an egg white. Not too sure about the egg part? Here are two recipes – one with the egg and one without.

Whiskey Sour (With Egg)

• 2 ounces whiskey
• 1 ounce fresh-squeezed lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 egg white
• ice

Combine all ingredients in a drink shaker. Shake hard to froth the egg! Pour into a cocktail glass. You can garnish with a maraschino cherry or an orange slice.

Whiskey Sour (Egg MIA)

• 2 ounces whiskey 
• 1 ounce fresh-squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 to 3/4 ounces simple syrup (get Chef Gigi's simple syrup recipe)
• ice

Put all ingredients into a drink shaker. Shake! Pour into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry and/or orange slice.
