Recipe Summary Chef John's Whiskey Sour

Day drinking is the best drinking, and if that day happens to be a very sunny, hot day, there's no better cocktail to enjoy than a classic whiskey sour. I'm very excited to show you my favorite formula for this incredibly refreshing, super simple, absolutely delicious drink. Garnish with a slice of blood orange and a Luxardo cherry.

Ingredients | Airheads Xtreme Sour Belts (2Oz)

½ cup white sugar

¼ cup water

2 fluid ounces 100-proof bourbon whiskey

1 fluid ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice

4 drops orange bitters, or more to taste

1 large egg white

ice cubes as needed

Directions

Bring sugar and water to a simmer in a small pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Turn off heat, transfer to a bowl, and let syrup cool completely before using, 15 to 20 minutes.

Pour 3/4 fluid ounce simple syrup, bourbon, lemon juice, bitters, and egg white into a large cocktail shaker. Cover with a smaller cocktail shaker, or top, and give the cocktail a "dry shake" without ice, about 30 seconds.

Add 3 ice cubes to the mixture, cover, and shake vigorously until the shaker is very cold and the outside is frosty, about 45 seconds. Uncover and strain into a rocks glass containing one large ice cube. Serve immediately.

You can use regular bitters instead of orange if you like.

Nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of simple syrup. The actual amount of syrup consumed is 3/4 fluid ounces per cocktail.
