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 and adds a little egg white to create a smooth, frothy drink with bright citrus flavors.
Vigorously shake the sour mix, vodka, and egg white over ice in a cocktail shaker.
3 oz sour mix, 1 1/2 oz vodka, 1 oz egg white
Strain the drink into a glass and add two dashes of Angostura bitters.
2 dashes Angostura bitters
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 foam.
The vodka sour can be garnished with a lemon twist, lemon slice, or a maraschino cherry.
Notes
Vodka sour cocktails can also be served over ice in an old-fashioned cocktail glass.
