Questions about Whiskey sour
How do you make a whiskey sour at home?
Shake 50 ml whiskey, 25 ml fresh lemon juice and 15 ml sugar syrup hard with ice, then strain into a glass over fresh ice. For a silky foam, add a little pasteurised egg white and shake without ice first, then shake again with ice.
Should you use bourbon or rye whiskey in a whiskey sour?
Bourbon gives a rounder, sweeter drink, while rye brings a drier, spicier edge. Either works; choose one you enjoy drinking neat.
Can you make a whiskey sour without egg white?
Yes. Egg white adds a smooth foam but is optional; the drink is still balanced with whiskey, lemon and sugar syrup. For a vegan foam, use a little aquafaba, the liquid from a tin of chickpeas.
Can you make a whiskey sour ahead of time?
Mix the whiskey, lemon juice and sugar syrup and chill them, ideally for no more than a day. Shake with ice just before serving; don’t add ice to the stored mixture, as it will dilute the drink.
What can you use instead of sugar syrup in a whiskey sour?
Dissolve sugar in an equal amount of hot water, then cool it before mixing. Honey syrup also works, but its flavour is more pronounced and it may need a little extra lemon to balance it.
What garnish goes with a whiskey sour?
A strip of lemon peel or a maraschino cherry is classic; an orange slice is another familiar choice. Express the lemon peel over the drink to release its fragrant oils.
What is the difference between a whiskey sour and a pisco sour?
A whiskey sour uses whiskey, while a pisco sour uses pisco, a grape spirit; both are shaken with citrus and sweetener. Pisco sours commonly include egg white and bitters, while egg white is optional in a whiskey sour.
Is a whiskey sour mix the same as a whiskey sour?
No. Whiskey sour mix is a sweetened citrus mixer, so you still need to add whiskey to make the cocktail. Fresh lemon juice and sugar syrup give you more control over its tartness and sweetness.
