What I love most about this sourdough whiskey recipe is how simple it is. There are several ways and variations to sour whiskey, but here’s a simple version with a sour mix and no egg whites.
What’s in sour whiskey?
The recipe below features three ingredients (plus garnish): whiskey, sour mix, and a little club soda. If you don’t have the sourdough and can’t make it, you can substitute it (see recipe notes).
This classic cocktail reminds me of one of my all-time favorite cocktails: a sidecar. It’s simple to make, on the slightly spicy side, but still really refreshing with a generous dose of citrus.
If you want a sour whiskey with egg whites (for a foamy topping) try this peach and sour basil whiskey cooking recipe.
Simple Whiskey, make 1
2 ounces of whiskey
2 ounces sour mix
Soft drink club splashing
Place the whiskey and sour mixture in a small iced glass. Give it a stir. Kick off the drink with a large glass of club soda. If you want to garnish the drink, try seasoning with lemon, zest, or cherries.
You can adjust the sweetness level by adding more or less sour mixture. Congratulation! Emma

If you don’t have a sour mix and don’t want to waste time making it, here’s an alternative: Combine 2 ounces of whiskey, 2 ounces of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of powdered sugar in a cocktail mixer with ice. Shake well to dissolve sugar. Strain and serve over ice.
