Whiskey Sour
A balanced bourbon sour with a fine, stable foam. Pasteurized egg white is optional but specified for safer handling; a two-stage shake builds texture without diluting the drink excessively.

- 3/4 ounce (22 ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 ounce (15 ml) simple syrup
- 1/2 ounce (15 ml) pasteurized liquid egg white, optional

Directions
Method
- Add bourbon, lemon, and syrup to a shaker. If using egg white, add it and shake without ice for 10 seconds.

- Double-strain into a chilled coupe or over fresh ice in a rocks glass. If using egg white, dot the finished foam with the bitters.
