This is the best whiskey sour recipe. I’m excited to share my favorite formula for this incredibly refreshing, super simple, absolutely delicious drink. Day drinking is the best, and if that day happens to be sunny and hot, there’s no better cocktail to enjoy than a classic whiskey sour. Garnish with a slice of blood orange and a Luxardo cherry.
Ingredients
Simple Syrup
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup water
Cocktail
- 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
Step 1
Prepare simple syrup: Bring sugar and water to a simmer in a small pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Pour into a small bowl and let cool completely before using, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 2
Make cocktail: 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 cocktail a "dry shake" without ice, about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add 3 ice cubes to bourbon 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 1 large ice cube.
Chef’s Note:
You can use regular bitters instead of orange.
