Wrapping up the weekend with a whiskey sour, a variation that came through my news feed, with orange juice (I have Tangelos, fantastic tangy juice) and absinthe (used Lucid)
I made this with scotch, as I have no rye, and it definitely needed 2x the lemon. Feeling more indulgent about the egg white than the Scotch! I think this would work with Angel's Envy bourbon very well, better than the Scotch and maybe better than rye but alas, as I have already mentioned I am waiting to buy anything.

Price of eggs can seriously get bent. Gosh it is a necessity for this cocktail. That looks amazing.

Nice foam head on this one! I usually make my whiskey sours with bourbon. You don't need anything real expensive to make a good whiskey sour.

Me too - usually Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond, talk about inexpensive, that is our workhorse but even that is used up. So many parties in the last few months , birthdays, a wedding, holidays. I will restock next month hopefully but it is kind of fun finding ways to use what is here.
The Scotch is Benromach 10, better than it's price for sure.

Interesting twist! I have to say though the best Whiskey Sour I’ve ever had comes from Suderman
Reverse dry shaken, and then a bunch of Angostura drops on top of the foam of the finished drink.

Why egg?

Smooths flavor, adds texture. And I suppose nutrition, too.

What OP answered. Extra tip: You can use a little bit of aquafaba as a perfect alternative, if you don't want egg in your drinks.
