Whiskey Sour Riff

Happy National Whiskey Sour Day!

With a nod to tradition and a flair for the contemporary, there's a Whiskey Sour to suit every taste. Our hearts were stolen by a unique Whiskey Sour riff that melds Velvet Falernum, Cointreau, and Eucalyptus Bitters. Immerse yourself in a captivating fusion, where bourbon's toasty embrace intertwines with Falernum's tantalizing hints of ginger, lime, and clove, topped off with a touch of eucalyptus zest.

How are you getting creative with your Whiskey Sour Today? Also, our riff is still searching for a proper name. Do you have any creative name ideas? Swing by our Private Crew Page and share your thoughts in the comment section!

Cheers to continued experimentation and another elevated weekend!

Ingredients

• 2 oz. Bourbon (100 proof preferred)
• 1 oz. Velvet Falernum
• ½ oz. Cointreau
• ½-1 oz. Lemon juice
• 1 Egg white
• 2 Dashes of Hella Eucalyptus Bitters
• Orange (for garnish)
• Maraschino cherry (for garnish)

Directions

1. Add egg white to your Hybrid Cocktail Shaker.
2. Add 1-2 large ice cubes.
3. Add Bourbon, Velvet Falernum, Cointrau and Lemon Juice.
4. Shake for 30 seconds. This is considered a “wet shake” since we let the ice chill, dilute, and whip the egg white in one step. Consider a two-step dry shake if you want more froth from the egg white.
5. Strain over a large ice cube in your Hybrid Cocktail Glass.
6. Add bitters on top of the foam.
7. Garnish with an orange wheel and maraschino cherry.
