With its more than 150 years, the Whiskey Sour is one of the oldest cocktails that are still enjoyed today almost unchanged and still enjoys a great popularity. So if you ever want to feel like a real cowboy, ordering a drink in the saloon in the evening and knocking the prairie dust off your shoulder, the Whiskey Sour is the perfect cocktail for you.

Zutaten

For the whiskey sour

60 ml rye whiskey
30 ml lemon juice (fresh)
15 ml sugar syrup (1:1)
1 egg white (size S)
1-2 dashes Angostura Bitters
Maraschino cherry (optional)
Orange slice (optional)
Ice cube

Barstuff

Shaker
Citrus juicer
Hawthorn sieve
Old Fashioned Glass

Zubereitung

Fill a (pre-chilled) Old Fashioned glass with ice cubes and provide.

Add whiskey, lemon juice, sugar syrup, egg whites and a handful of ice cubes to a shaker. Shake vigorously(!) for 10 seconds.

Strain the cocktail over the ice into the Old Fashioned glass using a bar strainer. Serve with a slice of orange and a Maraschino cherry . Ready is your homemade original whiskey sour!

Hint:

The most common mistake with a whiskey sour is too little foam due to too much ice when shaken. Therefore, rather give 1-2 ice cubes less in your shaker. The ice cream must move to properly whip the egg whites.
