The whiskey sour is a classic cocktail - allowing you to enjoy whiskey with a balance of sweet and tart.
Newstalk.com's The Cocktail Mix employed the trusted skills of mixologist Linda O'Rourke of House Dublin to show us exactly how it's done.
What you'll need:
- Two dashes of bitters
- Half shot of lemon juice
- One shot of egg white
- A shot of sugar syrup
- Two shots of Irish whiskey
- Iced glass (dumped upon serving)
- Orange slice to garnish
Takeaway tip: When adding egg whites to cocktails, use a technique called a “dry shake.” First, shake all of the ingredients (including egg white) vigorously without ice for 15-20 seconds. Then, add ice and shake for another 10-15 seconds. The first shake allows the egg white to fully emulsify and become frothy while the second chills the drink.
