A good vodka sour is a simple cocktail that is easy to make, but hard to get right. What makes this vodka sour recipe so delicious is that it uses our Fresh Homemade Sour Mix
The advantage of using a sour mix made with freshly squeezed lemons is it tastes like something made with lemon juice instead of the over-sweetened corn syrup flavor that dominates so many store bought sour mixes.
The egg white adds freshness and body A couple of small things elevate this vodka sour recipe. The addition of egg whites adds freshness and body, creating a more refreshing drink; while the Angostura bitters
A simple way to use egg whites in cocktails, rather than cracking an egg every time you want a drink, is to buy a small carton of egg whites that can be kept in the fridge.
How to Make a Vodka Sour
A sour is an easy cocktail to make. Start with a base spirit, such as whiskey
The more vigorous the cocktail is shaken, the more froth you’ll get from the egg whites, which make the cocktail more fun to drink and give it a smoother texture. We like to add the bitters after the drink has been strained into a glass to add a little contrasting color.
A touch of bitters add some complexity to this smooth drinking cocktail Once you learn how to mix up a sour all you need is a proper cocktail shaker ,

For a nice presentation serve in a coupe glass and use a stir stick to swirl the bitters in a circle starting at the center and working your way out to create a nice pattern in the froth.
