About the Garrison Brothers Signature Whiskey Sour
Our house whiskey sour, balanced right between tart and smooth. Garrison Brothers Small Batch or HoneyDew meets fresh lemon and simple syrup, and an optional egg white shakes up into a velvety foam. Four drops of Angostura on top add aroma and a little color.
Questions, answered
Do I have to use egg white?
No, it's optional. Egg white adds a silky texture and a foam cap, not flavor. Skip it for a brighter, lighter sour. Use fresh eggs or pasteurized egg whites.
What is a dry shake?
Shaking without ice first. It whips the egg white into a thick foam before you add ice to chill and dilute the drink.
Should I use Small Batch or HoneyDew?
Small Batch makes a bolder, classic sour at 94 proof. HoneyDew, infused with Texas wildflower honey, makes it rounder and a little sweeter.
