THE WHISKY SOUR
When it comes to classic cocktails, there’s nothing quite like The Whisky Sour. It’s traditionally made with bourbon or Irish whiskey — but for a local twist, our recipe uses Bain’s Whisky with simple syrup, egg white, citrus, and bitters. The flavour is balanced and complemented by the sweetness of the whisky and simple syrup, so it's not as tart as you might think. If you’re looking for a sure-fire way to impress your guests, mix a Whisky Sour!

Pro-tip:
Don’t want to use egg white? Try aquafaba as a substitute! Aquafaba is the liquid that’s inside a can of chickpeas. One tablespoon of aquafaba is equal to half an egg white.
