Hi, I'm Greg and this is how to drink
I've never worked in a bar,
Held a position as a bar back,
Been a bar apprentice...
Been... I've been in bars, I've been in a lot of bars.
This is How To Drink,
A show about making cocktails and drinking them.
Let's get going.
We're gonna make a classic and real simple drink,
We're gonna make a whiskey sour
I'm actually gonna use a Michter's Rye whiskey
I really like this rye.
And I think it'll balance against the sugar of the sour pretty well.
We're gonna put two ounces of rye into our tin.
Spilled a little.
Put that back in there.
We're gonna need a lemon.
That's where we get our sour from in this sour.
Three quarters of an ounce of lemon in there.
We're going to use a half an ounce of simple syrup.
Which is really, it's more than I would usually use in any other cocktail.
But honestly a lot of recipes for these call for more sugar.
This is enough. More than enough.
We need one egg white.
And we need some ice.
Ice in the shaker, we're gonna shake this drink.
You really want to shake this drink vigorously.
And that should do.
Let's serve it in this little guy.
And now for the bitters. I'm gonna try and do this very accurately.
I'm gonna use a garnish pick now to kind of give it a little swirl.
And there we have it, a classic whiskey sour. Made with creole bitters from the Bitter Truth.
And, I'm telling you, they have a real smell, so that hits your nose a little bit differently than Angostura
And I think it really changes the profile of this drink.
And uh, Hm, here we go.
Wow.
That recipe will serve you well.
I'd love to see some of your creative bitters artwork, if you have any.
Share it in the comments.
Or uh, whatever. Drop me a line.
I'm here.
Any time.
This is How To Drink.
I'm having this delicious, delicious, creamy...
Creamy, lemony, light, effervescent even.
That's a very good Whiskey Sour, Ha ha!
It's very dangerous actually because I'm not supposed to drink the whole cocktail that I make, because I get too drunk.
Uh, but I really want to drink all of this one.
