VALENTINE'S SOUR

Posted by GARNISHYOURGLAM.COM

Valentine's Day is the perfect time to serve up some love in a glass, and what better way to do so than with a Valentine's Sour? If you're not familiar with this delightful concoction, you're in for a treat. I'm not usually a whiskey girl, but I can't resist a good whiskey sour - it's undoubtedly one of my top 5 go-to cocktails. So, why not give it a Valentine's twist by incorporating the most common flavor of the season, strawberries? 🍓

Valentine's Sour ♥️ Recipe

Here's what you'll need:

• 2 oz Rye Whiskey (I prefer @sazerachouse)

• 3/4 oz lemon juice

• 1 oz strawberry puree* (see note below)

• 1/2 oz simple syrup

• 1 oz liquid pasteurized egg whites

*For the strawberry puree, simply grind up 1/4 cup of water and 6-8 strawberries in a food processor. Grind until it's smooth.

Directions:

Now that you've gathered your ingredients, it's time to put the Valentine's Sour together. Here's how to do it:

1. In a cocktail shaker, combine your rye whiskey, lemon juice, strawberry puree, simple syrup, and liquid egg whites.

2. Using a hand frother, give the mixture a good froth. This will help to combine all of the ingredients and create a smooth texture.

3. Add in some ice and shake vigorously. This will chill the cocktail and further mix the ingredients.

4. Grab a frosted glass and strain the strawberry whiskey concoction into it. This will help to remove any bits of fruit or ice that didn't get fully incorporated.

5. Garnish with festive decor because why not?! This could be anything from a strawberry slice to a heart-shaped stirrer - feel free to get creative!

And there you have it - a Valentine's Sour that's sure to impress your loved ones. Best enjoyed in good company ♥️
