Whiskey Sour _ How to Drink

Hi, I'm Greg. This is How to Drink. I've never worked in a bar, held a position as a bar back, been a bar apprentice, been... I've been in bars. I've been in a lot of bars. This is How to Drink. It's all about making cocktails and drinking them. Let's get going. We're going to make a classic, a real simple drink. We're going to make a whiskey sour. I'm actually going to use a Michter's rye whiskey. I really like this rye. And I think it balances against the sugar of a sour pretty well. We're going to put two ounces of rye into our tin. Spilt a little. Put it back in there. We're going to need a lemon. That's where we get our sour from in this sour. Three quarters of an ounce of lemon in there. We're going to use a half an ounce of simple syrup. Which is more sugar than I would add to any other drink. But honestly, a lot of recipes for these call for more sugar. This is enough. More than enough. We need one egg white. And we need some ice. Ice is in the shaker. We're going to shake this drink. You really want to shake this drink vigorously. That should do. I'm going to serve it in this little guy. And now for the bitters. I'm going to try and do this very accurately. I'm going to use a garnish pick now to give it a little swirl. And there we have it. Classic whiskey sour made with Creole bitters. And I'm telling you, they have a real smell. So that hits your nose a little bit differently than Angostura. And I think it really changes the profile of this drink. Here we go. Wow. That recipe will serve you well. Two ounces of Michter's rye. A half ounce of simple syrup. Three quarters of an ounce of lemon. Four drops of bitters on the top. Particularly Bitter Truth Creole bitters. I'd love to see some of your creative bitters artwork if you have any. Share it in the comments. Or whatever. Drop me a line. I'm here. Anytime. This is How to Drink. Having this delicious, delicious, creamy, creamy, lemony, light, effervescent even. That's a very good whiskey sour. It's very dangerous actually because I'm not supposed to drink the whole cocktail that I make because I get too drunk. But I really want to drink all of this one.
