Directions

5 min.
1. Step

Over a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour the whisky, lemon juice, and simple syrup.

Optional: If you're including egg white, add it to the shaker. The egg white is not for taste; it's there to present a smooth foamy layer at the top of the drink.

3. Step

Shake it very well. You want to make sure that all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and chilled.

4. Step

Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with ice.

5. Step

Garnish with an orange slice and cherry.

6. Step

Your whisky sour is ready to enjoy!
