Instructions

Dive into the roaring twenties with this sophisticated twist on classic Prohibition-era sours. The Velvet Speakeasy Sour pays homage to the clandestine glamour of the speakeasy, blending the rich, velvety textures of egg white and port wine with the sharpness of traditional sour ingredients. It's a cocktail that whispers the secrets of a bygone era while tickling the modern palate. Ingredients: - 2 oz Rye Whiskey - ½ oz Ruby Port Wine - ¾ oz Fresh Lemon Juice - ½ oz Simple Syrup - 1 Egg White - A dash of Angostura Bitters - Ice - Lemon twist and a cherry for garnish Glass: Serve in a chilled coupe glass. Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the rye whiskey, ruby port wine, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white. Ensure there's no ice at this stage. 2. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This is the 'dry shake,' allowing the egg white to emulsify with the rest of the ingredients, creating a smooth texture. 3. Add a handful of ice to the shaker and shake again for about 10 seconds. This 'wet shake' chills and dilutes the mixture to perfection. 4. Double strain the mixture into the chilled coupe glass to ensure a smooth, foam-topped drink without any ice shards or egg residue. 5. Add a dash of Angostura Bitters over the foam. For an elegant presentation, drag a toothpick through the bitters to create a marbled effect. 6. Garnish with a lemon twist and a cherry, skewered together and rested on the rim of the glass. The Velvet Speakeasy Sour is not just a drink; it's a time machine in a glass, offering a sip of the forbidden delights from the Prohibition era with a contemporary twist.
