Historically, whiskey sours have a bit of egg white in them, which to some can be off-putting but it’s really not that bad. This particular whiskey sour does not have the infamous egg white and I’m fine with that. I love whiskey but for some reason, I never order whiskey sours when I’m out. I decided to play around with the idea of a whiskey sour after finding an article on Pinterest, by way of The Kitchn, on different ways you can sweeten up your whiskey sour. Naturally, I was immediately intrigued.
I came across the honey whiskey sour and it seemed super easy and I already had all of the ingredients at home. Before life got crazy busy, Sunday nights John and I would have cocktail night at home. I always love that and I think it’s time to incorporate it back into our weekend ritual. John isn’t a big drinker so cocktail hour sometimes just means I drank and he maybe had a sip or just watched me drink. Either way, it was a fun ritual and I’m excited to ease it back into our lives.
