COCKTAILS

 Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about

Boston sour

A whiskey sour is an iconic drink that goes back centuries. The first mention of it was actually in the 1870’s! It’s a sweet tart mixed drink made with whiskey, often bourbon, lemon and sugar. This classic cocktail is on the list of International Bartender Association’s IBA official cocktails. This means it has an official definition. The Boston sour just add an egg white! Here’s what’s in a Boston sour:

• Whiskey (usually bourbon)
• Lemon juice
• Simple syrup or maple syrup
• Egg white
• Boston sour

How to make a Boston sour

It’s easy to make a Boston sour: even the foam topping it easy once you know how to do it! Here’s what to do:

• Mix whiskey, lemon juice, maple syrup and egg white in a cocktail shaker. Shake for 15 seconds. (We like using maple syrup to sweeten cocktails instead of simple syrup: it gives them a nuanced sweetness! You can use either.)
• Add ice to the cocktail shaker and shake again for 30 seconds.
• Strain it into a glass and garnish with an orange peel. If you have it, a cocktail cherry is the most traditional. We love adding it for the classic look.

and as always have a chilled day from the Viking
