Instructions

The Smokey Honey Ginger Sour is a nuanced twist on the classic whiskey sour cocktail, featuring a complex layering of flavors that include the warmth of bourbon, the tang of fresh lemon, the subtle heat of ginger, the sweetness of honey, and the frothy texture of egg white, rounded off with a few dashes of bitters to enhance the depth. This cocktail strikes a perfect balance of sweetness, acidity, and spice with a smooth, velvety mouthfeel. Ingredients: - 2 oz Bourbon - 3/4 oz Fresh lemon juice - 1/2 oz Honey-ginger syrup (equal parts honey, water, and fresh ginger slices, simmered and strained) - 1 Egg white - 2 Dashes Angostura bitters - 2 Dashes Aromatic bitters - Ice - Candied ginger or lemon twist, for garnish - Optional: A small pinch of smoked paprika or a smoky salt rim for a touch of smokiness Glass: - Chilled coupe or martini glass Instructions: 1. Begin by making the honey-ginger syrup. Combine equal parts honey and water in a saucepan, add slices of fresh ginger, and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-10 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool. Strain out the ginger pieces and set the syrup aside. 2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the bourbon, fresh lemon juice, and honey-ginger syrup. Add the egg white to the shaker. 3. Dry shake (shake without ice) all the ingredients vigorously for about 15 seconds. This process helps to emulsify the egg white and create a frothy texture. 4. Add ice to the shaker and shake again until the mixture is well-chilled and frothy, usually about 30 seconds. 5. If you prefer a smoky hint, rim the chilled glass with smoky salt or sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika into the shaker before the second shake. 6. Strain the mixture into the chilled coupe or martini glass, ensuring a nice layer of froth on top. 7. Garnish with a few dashes of Angostura and aromatic bitters on top of the froth. Use a toothpick or cocktail pick to swirl the bitters into a decorative pattern if desired. 8. Finish with a piece of candied ginger or a lemon twist on the rim of the glass. 9. Serve immediately and enjoy the warming, complex flavors of the Smokey Honey Ginger Sour.
