Instructions

The Lychee Lush Whiskey Sour is a beautifully balanced concoction that merges the rich, smooth warmth of whiskey with the exotic, sweet essence of lychees. This refreshing twist on the classic whiskey sour will intrigue your palate and could easily become a new favorite for those warm, lazy afternoons or as a sophisticated evening starter. Using fresh lychee to add a layer of luxurious sweetness, this cocktail is both visually appealing and deliciously rewarding. Ingredients: - 2 oz Whiskey (preferably a smooth bourbon or rye for its spicy undertones) - 1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 1/2 oz Simple Syrup (adjust based on the sweetness of the lychees and your preference) - 4 Fresh Lychees (peeled and pitted) or canned lychees if fresh are unavailable - Egg White (optional, for a frothy texture) - Ice - Sliced Lychee or Lemon Twist, for garnish Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the fresh lychees until you've extracted as much juice as possible. If using canned lychees, reserve a tablespoon of the syrup from the can to add to the shaker. 2. Add the whiskey, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white (if using) to the shaker. 3. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously if you're using egg white to ensure it's well aerated and frothy. This should take about 15 seconds. 4. Add a handful of ice to the shaker and shake again vigorously for another 20-30 seconds to chill and dilute the mixture slightly. 5. Strain into a chilled coupe glass or over a large ice cube in a rocks glass if you prefer it a bit colder. The choice of glass can alter the drinking experience subtly— a coupe glass for a more elegant touch or a rocks glass for a laid-back feel. 6. Garnish with a slice of lychee on the rim or a simple lemon twist for an aromatic flair. The Lychee Lush Whiskey Sour marries the robust profile of whiskey with the delicate, aromatic sweetness of lychees, enhanced by the sharpness of fresh lemon juice. It is an impeccable choice for anyone looking to savor a truly unique and innovative cocktail experience.
