In order for a whiskey sour to be truly great, you've got to squeeze your lemons fresh. You'll end up with a cocktail that, unlike most whiskey drinks, is actually refreshing. This is something you'd want to sip on while sitting on the front porch.

1/2 ounce egg white, optional

3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice

3/4 ounce simple syrup, heat equal parts sugar and water in a pot until sugar dissolves; cool before use

2 ounces bourbon

1 dash angostura bitters

Ice cubes

Garnish

1 Luxardo cherry

Orange slice

Directions

Separate egg and whisk egg whites just enough to break down for easy measuring. Set aside. In a mixing glass, combine lemon juice, simple syrup, bourbon, egg whites, and bitters. Dry shake (without ice) to emulsify ingredients. Add ice cubes, seal, and shake again. Strain whiskey sour into a chilled glass with ice. To garnish, spear one end of the orange slice with a cocktail pick, then the cherry, then the other end of the orange slice; place atop the drink and serve.
