Wrapping up the weekend with a whiskey sour, a variation that came through my news feed, with orange juice (I have Tangelos, fantastic tangy juice) and absinthe (used Lucid)

I made this with scotch, as I have no rye, and it definitely needed 2x the lemon. Feeling more indulgent about the egg white than the Scotch! I think this would work with Angel’s Envy bourbon very well, better than the Scotch and maybe better than rye but alas, as I have already mentioned I am waiting to buy anything.

    Nice foam head on this one! I usually make my whiskey sours with bourbon. You don’t need anything real expensive to make a good whiskey sour.

      Me too - usually Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond, talk about inexpensive, that is our workhorse but even that is used up. So many parties in the last few months , birthdays, a wedding, holidays. I will restock next month hopefully but it is kind of fun finding ways to use what is here.

      The Scotch is Benromach 10, better than it’s price for sure.

    Interesting twist! I have to say though the best Whiskey Sour I’ve ever had comes from Suderman

    • 1.5oz Bourbon
    • .5oz Apple Brandy like Laird’s BiB
    • 1oz Lemon Juice
    • .5oz 2:1 Simple
    • .5oz Velvet Falernum
    • 1 Egg White or other foaming agent

    Reverse dry shaken, and then a bunch of Angostura drops on top of the foam of the finished drink.
