When I made the Whiskey Sour earlier this year,

I discovered I wasn't a huge fan of drinks with egg whites,

but after being introduced to a Rye Maple Fizz,

I very well may have changed my mind,

and now like egg white drinks and the froth it creates!

The Goods:

Rye Whiskey

Maple Syrup

Club Soda

Bitter

Lemons

Egg White

Cinnamon

Create your lemon garnish and set aside.

Measure out 2 ounces rye whiskey per drink.

Followed by 3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice per drink.

And 1/2 ounce maple syrup per drink.

Followed by 1/2 ounce egg white per drink.

And lastly, 2 dashes bitters per drink. 

Shake for about 10 seconds.

Fill shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds.

Strain into frosted cocktail glasses.

Top with club soda.

Garnish with the lemon and sprinkle cinnamon on top.

And last but not least, cheers your friends and enjoy!!

Make sure to check back each month for a new recipe!

Whiskey Wednesday will happen every first Wednesday of the month.

When hanging out with my friends Adam and Elina recently,
we were talking about possible drinks I could make for Whiskey Wednesday.
I've known about a Whiskey Sour forever, but had never had one.
Adam insisted I MUST use an egg white if I make one though.
And I couldn't disappoint him, so that's exactly what I did!

Now let me show you how to make a Whiskey Sour!!

The Goods:

Whiskey

Simple Syrup

Lemon

Egg White

Maraschino Cherries

Separate the egg yolk from the egg white.

Measure out 2 Ounces of whiskey and pour into your shaker.

Squeeze juice from lemon, measure out 1 Ounce and pour into your shaker.

Measure 1/2 to 3/4 Ounce of simple syrup and pour into your shaker.

Lastly, measure 1 Tablespoon egg white and pour into your shaker.

Put lid on shaker and shake for a minute to combine and make egg foam.
Add ice and shake once again to chill the drink.

Strain into chilled glass with a few ice cubes.

Add marachino cherries and a slice of lemon to garnish.

While I did enjoy this drink, it wasn't my favorite.

It was good, and the flavor did grow on me, 

but I don't think I'd ever order one for myself.
