Classic whiskey sour
Alcoholic beverages
Historically, whiskey sours often used egg white to create a foamy, silky texture without contributing additional flavor. Raw egg in a cocktail might seem a bit icky, but it’s no different than a meringue, say, or a Caesar salad dressing. <br /> <br />The trick to this is to use a “double shake” to make sure the egg white is fully incorporated: First shake <em>without</em> ice, to break up and aerate the egg white. Then, you shake a second time <em>with</em> ice, to cool everything down and make it extra frothy. For a variation, try using a mix of a few types of citrus, (I like ½ oz lemon juice plus and ¼ oz orange juice for a fruitier, sweeter flavor).
