Whiskey Sour Recipe (No Egg White)
Whiskey Sour is one of my husband's go-to cocktails and I've been making it a couple of times a month for many years. It's a simple and sophisticated cocktail made with bourbon, lemon juice, and simple syrup. You can make whiskey sour with egg white for a smooth and silky finish or leave off the egg white. (Which one is your preferred way?)

Ingredients
- 2 oz bourbon whiskey
- 1 oz fresh lemon juice about 1/2 lemon
- 1 oz simple syrup
- 1 tsp fresh orange juice
- 2 drops orange bitters optional**
Instructions
- You can serve this cocktail straight or on the rocks. Chill the glasses first if you will be serving the cocktail straight.
- Use a vegetables peeler to peel the outer skin of the orange, without the white rind, and twist it tight to squeeze the natural oils from the orange. Rub the orange twist over the rim of the glass.`
- Combine fresh squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup, splash of fresh orange juice, and bourbon in a cocktail shaker. Add a few ice cubes and shake vigorously.**Optional: add 2 drops of orange bitters to the cocktail shaker.
- Add a few ice cubes to the glass if desired, pour the cocktail into the glass through a strainer, and enjoy.
Notes
**Orange bitters enhance the aroma of the cocktail and in turn, makes it for much more pleasant sip experience. You can also try cherry bitters.
Whiskey - while you can use bourbon or whiskey, make it the one that you enjoy drinking.
