Our Drink for this episode is the one and only Whisky Sour. As with many of the classics, there are a number of variations but here's a solid recipe to get you going.
Whisky Sour
2 ounces bourbon
1 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1/2 ounce simple syrup
1 egg white (optional)
3-5 dashes Angostura bitters
Add the bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white to a shaker but DON'T ADD THE ICE YET! You need to do a dry shake (no ice) to get the froth just right then go back with the ice. So shake it until you get a nice foam the add the ice and shake some more. Strain into your favorite cocktail glass or over ice if you choose. Add a few drops of Angostura bitters to the foam at the top for looks, smell and eventually taste.
