Whiskey Sour

The Whiskey Sour, dating back to 1862, remains one of the most satisfying drinks to make at home — combining bourbon, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and optionally egg white for a luxurious foam cap. It outperforms #5 by delivering a richer, more complex flavor profile that costs just $2.50 per serving. The egg white version (a Boston Sour) transforms it from a solid cocktail into a silky, cloud-topped experience that looks as good as it tastes. With a 30% higher foam stability than the average sour cocktail, this classic is a must-master for any home bartender.
