A Whiskey Sour is a classic cocktail that achieves a perfect harmony of whiskey, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
At Alaska Wild Harvest, we put a unique spin on tradition by swapping simple syrup for our birch syrup. This infusion introduces a distinctive birch essence, offering a fresh take on the classic whiskey sour experience.
Birch Syrup Selection: Crafting Your Cocktail’s Flavor Profile
Some people enjoy a sweeter whiskey sour, while others prefer a more tart or balanced profile.
- Use our Birch Breakfast Syrup, which has a milder and sweeter taste, if you like a slightly sweeter whiskey sour.
- On the other hand, if you enjoy a more citrus-forward and less sweet profile, our Pure Birch Syrup will be a good option.
- If you want a bolder birch flavor that stands out, we recommend using our Reserve Birch Syrup.
Ingredients
- 2 oz bourbon or rye whiskey
- 1.5 tsp Birch Syrup
- 1.5 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 egg white
- Ice cubes
- Orange Twist (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a shaker, combine the bourbon or rye whiskey, birch syrup, fresh lemon juice, and one egg white.
EXPERT TIP: Don’t have a shaker? No problem. Use a mason jar or water bottle. - Dry shake (shake without ice) the mixture vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to froth up the egg white.
- Add ice to the shaker and shake again for another 10-15 seconds.
- Strain the mixture into a chilled glass or over ice.
- Release the oil from the orange peel by giving it a twist over the drink. Optionally, just add an orange slice.
- Enjoy!
