![]() Inspired by my favorite cocktail, the whiskey sour, I’ve added a sweet twist to the mix to really knock your socks…err…sandals off. But, I’ll have to leave you in suspense so you’ll come back to visit me once my Portugal post is up! I’ll give you just one word: WINE. 7 days was not long enough!! Well, it was just the right amount of time to be gone from my boys, but it was definitely not long enough to explore everything the country has to offer. Once I get my photos all in order I will do a post entirely on the trip, and what we got up to for the 7 days. Trust me, this cherry whiskey sour will make up for it! I hope the next few sentences make sense, but if they don’t, I’m blaming it on my foggy jet-lagged brain. I guess that’s because I didn’t go on a vacation for a really really LONG time!! Anyway, now that I’ve got a tiny bit of a post typed out I can relax (a little). I’m baaaack! It is so weird that I didn’t post anything for over a week (gasp)! Since starting this blog I have never gone that long without posting something. I’ve since redone the post but the recipe remains the same ![]() *Please note* this post was originally published in 2017. You'll also find an excellent rendition at Las Vegas gin joint Juniper, located in the Park MGM.A hint of lime and sweet cherries add a fun twist to your new favourite summer whiskey cocktails! This cherry whiskey sour will be on repeat this summer. The Sazerac Bar at the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans (the birthplace of the beverage) is our preferred venue. It also takes an experienced hand to master the art of achieving peak Ramos Gin Fizz frothiness, so if you're intrigued by the cocktail (which you absolutely should be), seek out spots that specifically list it on the menu. For one, it's a fairly cumbersome drink to make, so if the joint happens to be busy, you may be met with an icy glare if you attempt to ask for one (and that's assuming they're stocked with all the ingredients). This is not the type of cocktail that you want to order at any old bar. The fizz comes courtesy of soda water which is combined with its cohorts in a Collins glass. ![]() That's shaken up (for at least 30 seconds) with gin, heavy cream, an egg white, simple syrup, and a teaspoon of orange flower water. ![]() The sour component is covered by the citrus duo of fresh lime juice and fresh lemon juice. If you happen to be averse to raw egg in your beverages, seek out the Chilean pisco sour which skips the whites and adds ginger and powdered sugar. ![]() The result is a tart, fruity, and creamy cocktail that is wonderfully refreshing. Strain and pour into a chilled coupe, and finish with a few drops of bitters. All the ingredients are added to a cocktail shaker and the trick is to start with an aggressive dry-shake in order to emulsify the egg whites, then add ice for another round of shaking. Our version also includes lemon juice, lime juice, simple syrup, and, of course, the signature spirit. While some whiskey sour variations may include an optional egg white, the frothy topping is an absolute must for an authentic Peruvian pisco sour. Chile and Peru lay claim to being the source of the most famous pisco-based drink, the pisco sour (it is the national drink of both South American countries), though regardless of its point of origin, the Peruvian version is the more likely rendition to show up on a cocktail menu in the U.S. ![]()
