• 2 oz whiskey (we love @13thcolony)
• 1 oz El Guapo™ Lemon Drop Mixer

How to Make a Perfect Whiskey Sour

Follow these simple steps for a professional-quality cocktail at home.

1. Combine ingredients. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the whiskey, El Guapo™ Lemon Drop Mixer, and egg white (if using).
2. Shake it up. Shake vigorously for at least 15 seconds, or until the shaker is very well chilled. This properly dilutes the drink and creates a rich, foamy head if you've added the egg white.
3. Strain and serve. Pour the mixture from the shaker into a lowball glass over fresh ice.
4. Garnish and enjoy. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a dehydrated lemon wheel before serving immediately. Cheers!
