Frequently Asked Questions About Whiskey Sour cocktail
What is in a Whiskey Sour cocktail?
A Whiskey Sour cocktail combines whiskey, lemon juice and a sweetener for a bright, sweet-and-tart drink. Some recipes add egg white for a silky foam, while others leave it out.
How do you make a Whiskey Sour cocktail?
Shake whiskey, fresh lemon juice and simple syrup with ice, then strain into a glass. For a foamy version, shake the ingredients first without ice, then add ice and shake again.
Should a Whiskey Sour cocktail be made with bourbon or rye?
Bourbon gives a Whiskey Sour cocktail a rounder, sweeter flavor that pairs naturally with lemon. Rye makes it drier and more peppery, so choose based on the taste you prefer.
Does a Whiskey Sour cocktail contain raw egg?
A Whiskey Sour cocktail may contain uncooked egg white, but many recipes omit it. If you want the traditional foam and are concerned about raw egg, use pasteurized egg whites.
What is the difference between a Whiskey Sour cocktail and an Amaretto Sour?
A Whiskey Sour cocktail gets its main spirit flavor from whiskey, while an Amaretto Sour uses almond-flavored amaretto. Both have a sour-citrus profile, but the Amaretto version tastes sweeter and nuttier.
Can you make a Whiskey Sour cocktail with bottled lemon juice?
Yes, bottled lemon juice works in a Whiskey Sour cocktail, but freshly squeezed juice usually tastes brighter and less flat. Avoid sweetened lemon drinks, which can throw off the cocktail’s balance.
How do you make a Whiskey Sour cocktail less sweet?
To make a Whiskey Sour cocktail less sweet, reduce the simple syrup and keep the lemon juice fresh. Taste before serving and adjust gradually; adding more whiskey alone can make it taste harsher.
Is a Whiskey Sour cocktail shaken or stirred?
A Whiskey Sour cocktail is shaken, not stirred, so the lemon, sweetener and whiskey blend thoroughly and chill quickly. Shaking with egg white also creates the drink’s characteristic foamy top.
Can you make Whiskey Sour cocktails ahead of time for a party?
You can mix the whiskey, lemon juice and sweetener for Whiskey Sour cocktails ahead, then chill the mixture. Shake each serving with ice just before pouring, and add egg white only at serving time.
Is a Whiskey Sour cocktail a strong drink?
A Whiskey Sour cocktail is an alcoholic drink whose strength depends on how much whiskey is used and how it is prepared. Its tart, sweet flavor can make the alcohol taste less noticeable.

What is Whiskey Sour cocktail?
A Whiskey Sour cocktail is a classic American-style sour, made by balancing whiskey with lemon juice and sugar or simple syrup. It is shaken and served chilled; the result is bright and citrusy, with the whiskey’s warm, rounded character underneath. Recipes vary in sweetness and tartness, so the balance often depends on the whiskey and the freshness of the lemon.
It works well as an aperitif or alongside savoury snacks, whether you’re having cocktails at home or ordering one at a bar. Its sugar contributes most of its carbohydrate content: there are 10.6 g of carbs per 100 g. For a less sweet drink, ask for or make it with less syrup, adjusting the lemon to keep the flavour lively.
