Whiskey Sour Cocktail Pack

Spirit, citrus, and sugar form the trinity that combines to create the classic sour, one of the oldest types of cocktails. One of the most popular members of this group, the Whiskey Sour, has quenched people's thirst for more than 150 years. The exact origin of the cocktail is unknown, but its history dates back at least to the American Civil War. The first printed recipe appeared around 1862 in Jerry Thomas's famous book "The Bar-Tenders Guide".

The Whiskey Sour was traditionally made with whiskey, lemon juice, sugar, and egg white, an ingredient that tames the sour taste and creates a richer, smoother texture. Today, the egg white is optional, and it's common to find bars serving Whiskey Sours without egg white. But if you want to taste the original incarnation of the drink and get some protein into your system, give it a try. In our version, we have chosen to use egg white syrup, as it is a bit faster, easier, and also a simple way to maintain food safety.

Recipe suggestion:

• 5 cl Bourbon
• 3 cl Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 3 cl Egg white syrup
• Optional: 1-2 dashes of Angostura Bitters

You buy the following in the cocktail package:

• 1 bottle Maker's Mark Bourbon
• 1 bottle Giffard Egg White Syrup
• Note that Angostura Bitter is not included, but may need to be purchased separately

Steps

• Pour Bourbon, lemon juice, and egg white syrup into a shaker and shake thoroughly until it foams.
• Add ice cubes and shake again.
• Strain into a glass with ice.
• Optionally add a few dashes of Angostura Bitters on the foam.

The quantities presented in this recipe are merely our preference, but you can, of course, make the cocktail as you wish.
