Whiskey Sour with Grenadine

This twist on the classic whiskey sour adds a touch of sweetness and a vibrant red hue.

Ingredients:

* 2 oz Bourbon whiskey (or Rye whiskey)

* 1 oz Freshly squeezed lemon juice

* 1/2 oz Simple syrup (or sugar to taste)

* 1/2 oz Grenadine

* 1 egg white (optional, for a richer foam)

* Garnish: Cherry, orange slice, or lemon twist

Instructions:

1. Combine all ingredients except grenadine in a cocktail shaker. If using egg white, add it first and dry shake (shake without ice) for 10-15 seconds to create a foam.

2. Add ice to the shaker.

3. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

4. Strain into a chilled coupe or rocks glass.

5. Drizzle grenadine over the top to create a beautiful layered effect.

6. Garnish with your choice of cherry, orange slice, or lemon twist.

Tips:

* Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the simple syrup or use less grenadine.

* Use high-quality whiskey: The whiskey is the star of this cocktail, so invest in a good bottle.

* Freshly squeeze your lemon juice: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the cocktail.

* Experiment with different grenadine brands: Some grenadines are more tart or sweet than others, so choose one that suits your taste.

Enjoy responsibly!
