Method

How to make Smoky Whisky Sour

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill one heavy rocks glass, prepare one large clear ice cube, cut one very short lemon twist, and confirm pasteurised egg white is suitable.

  2. 02

    Measure both whiskies, fresh lemon juice, maple syrup, one dash of bitters, and the egg white into a shaker.

  3. 03

    Add solid cold ice and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until thoroughly chilled.

  4. 04

    Strain back into the empty shaker and dry-shake without ice for another 10 seconds to build fine foam.

  5. 05

    Place the large cube in the chilled glass and fine-strain the drink over it so the foam settles evenly.

  6. 06

    Add exactly three tiny bitters drops and the single compact lemon twist, then serve without another garnish.
