• 2 oz whiskey (we love @13thcolony)
• 1 oz El Guapo™ Lemon Drop Mixer 
• 0.5 oz Egg White (optional, for a foamy finish)

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!
