Sour and sweet
The Whisky Sour Ticks All The Boxes
Don't they say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? The classic Whisky Sour has prompted numerous iterations because it ticks the basics of a cocktail: spirit, sour and sweet. Serve this recipe in our RIEDEL Drink Specific Glassware Sour glass for an elevated experience!
Classic Whisky Sour Recipe
Ingredients:
- 60ml / 2fl.oz. Bourbon
- 20ml / 0.75fl.oz. Fresh Lemon Juice
- 20ml / 0.75fl.oz. Simple Syrup
- White of one egg (Optional)
- Dash of Bitters
Directions:
Shake ingredients in a shaker until combined. Add ice and shake again. Strain into a RIEDEL Drink Specific Glassware Sour Glass, garnish with a dash of bitters and enjoy!
The Drink Specific Sour glass was released in 2019 and is designed for mixed cocktails that are classified as "sours", served without ice and including whisky sours, sidecars, and daiquiris.
This glass features an old-fashioned style rarely seen in modern collections, which is a shame as its elegant form incorporates an outward flared lip essential for the traditional sour. This lip helps to deliver the silky, smooth texture of these cocktails to your entire palate, presenting a balance between the sweet and sour elements.
