Whiskey Sour Cocktail

Drinking a well-made Whiskey Sour, which is a concoction of whiskey, lemon juice, and simple syrup, is worthwhile, especially when egg white (yes!) and a dash of Angostura bitters are added.

Ingredients :

• 2 ounces whiskey

• 3/4 ounce freshly-squeezed lemon juice

• 1/2 ounce simple syrup

• 1 large egg white

• Ice

• 2 to 3 drops Angostura bitters, optional

STEPS :

     1. Combine ingredients and shake without ice :

In a cocktail shaker, combine the whiskey, lemon juice, and simple syrup, then add the egg white. (I prefer to break off a small part of the egg's top and use it as a strainer to keep the yolk in while pouring the white into the shaker.) Shake for 60 seconds without ice.

     2. Add ice, shake again, then strain :

Shake the shaker again for 30 seconds with ice. Pour into a cocktail glass and garnish with bitters. Serve!
