Add the egg white to the tin first in case you screw it up

[@whatskraken3886]

yeah but he’s clearly extremely experienced

[@slammerw3]

Was gonna say the same thing. The egg can be bad. Also, it’s standard to put the cheapest ingredients first.

[@gunslingersymphony5015]

I've always said, "Americans drink to get drunk, everyone else just drinks." Obviously this is a sweeping generalization, but I think there's some truth to it. For example: if people here say they might have a drink in the morning, they're assumed to be alcoholics. Meanwhile, most of the actual alcoholics I've known in my life wouldn't drink during the day. They'd only drink after work, but get absolutely trashed every single night. The people I've known (myself included) who are willing to have a drink at any time of the day have been the ones to know their limits. It's very interesting to see the often unexpected ways in which our ancestors puritan attitudes have shaped our modern culture.

[@timebandit1266]

When someone enjoys a drink in the morning their called in alcoholic. When someone consumes a 1300 Calorie breakfast just to go “Nap it off” their called an American.

This one is by far the best whiskey sour cocktail 🍸

[@pachangamarrana1]

Looks great. I prefer my sours without ice though,i have the sensation i can feel more of the silky texture of it that way

[@callamastia]

the egg adds so much i don’t understand why people in the comments are against it

[@mewubzy]

Man these shorts are cleannn

[@gundersonflooringanddesign4064]

Whiskey sours are my favorite! Actually all whiskey cocktails. Whiskey imparts a special taste and quality that goes great with fruit juices if it's balanced nicely. Vodka and rum are the obvious choices. But sometimes they are lost behind the fruit juice flavor

[@thingswhynot]

Gotta find a punchier rum ;) look for something from Jamaica or Barbados if you can. I promise these flavors won’t get lost, good luck trying to bury them lol. All that being said, whiskey is lovely. I’ve been on a huuuge bourbon kick lately.

[@johnpantrakis6194]

I really need to know how the first person that made this come up with the egg part 😂

[@Shaddowbanning]

Someone really smart explained to me that you should dry shake the lemon and egg white then add the other ingredients. I can’t remember which amazing bartender told me that 🧐😂

[@geordieny]

dry shaking the ingredients emulsifies and aerates it better and then you add the ice. You get much better foam that way. Also, double straining it will get you a nicer foam too.

[@Chaz_NFQ]

I can vouch for this recipe. It’s sensational 😉

[@esoterictrinitarian1990]

Cheers mate!

[@RingerDaClown]

Yummy Boston Sour.

[@440s]

Try this if you like, do the same but put half of the ice in a blender with the mixture and then pour it in a glass with ice...if you dont like it like a sorbet, dont put the ice in the blender, but still blend it, it creates the perfect foam. And other thing, in chile and peru, we dont mix the angostura, just add a few drops on top

[@thatdudebro]

cutting edge content.

[@ethanspence7102]

Please do an espresso martini next!!!

[@sanderlahuis5698]

I believe he's done one already - 30ml vodka - 30ml coffee liquor, I think he used Kahlua or some cold brew espresso liquor (Tia Maria also an option if you want it less sweet than Kahlua) - 30ml espresso Shake it ~10 sec with ice so you get that nice foam layer Serve in a chilled coupe or martini glass with three coffee beans

I strongly prefer to serve this drink up. The ice messes with the egg white head. Just my opinion... But everyone else is wrong!

[@Lovecars1218]

I like to use a reverse dry shake cause I get better foam from the egg white

[@Grande79]

Try one omitting the simple syrup and adding a little Amaretto

Ango is a nice addition, .75 SS to .75 lemon is a bit sweet for me tho!

Hey Steve! I have a few coctails I have created and know you do shows on that. When will you be doing this again? I watch almost all of your content and always seem to miss it

[@Aleks_Ye]

Can u make a tutorial on how to make angostura bitters?

[@halenpeterson2322]

You don't make those, you just buy them lol.

[@slammerw3]

Ok, I’m gonna try a new one. You know how with egg whites, you can make peaks by adding some sugar? Well, in the shaker, I’ll whip them up, then add the rest of the ingredients.

[@anish384]

Is there anything i can substitute for Angostura Bitters?

What’s the difference between Whiskey and a New York sour? I just tried the whiskey sour this New years at a bar and I really liked it.

[@StevetheBartender_]

New York sour has a red wine float 👍

[@gundersonflooringanddesign4064]

Steve-o. You're not in your shorts??? 🩳 🤣

[@fredugreub]

hello steve. with the whiskey Sour being one of my favourite coktails by far, I always struggle with the dryshaking. my shaker, same kind that you are using, always leaks… ofc when i add ice it foesnt do that. is it just bad quality or do you have any tips? I enjoy your youtube shorts very much and I have been inspired quite alot by them. greetings from switzerland🥃

[@TheBittner1]

Try a reverse dry shake. Add the ice first, shake, strain off the ice, then shake again. It's my preferred method.

[@geordieny]

Get a better shaker or you're not sealing it properly

[@geordieny]

Why the orange garnish? Use lemon garnish. Also a few drops of angostura

[@Cvmpbell]

What’s this taste like?

[@kpacny1]

No eggs

[@StevetheBartender_]

When you dry shake? When it had ice in it, the metal contracts and helps to form a good seal.. try dry shaking with a single cube to give it a slight chill and seal the tins.. let me know if it helps!

[@tommailey993]

@@StevetheBartender_ when I dry shake yeah, could I chill the tin before the dry shake? Would that work?

[@StevetheBartender_]

Worth a try but I don’t think it will.. cos then you’re placing to contracted tins together… rather than placing them together, adding ice and then it contracts to make the seal.

[@weeblbob233]

Cheers bud. What do you do with the rest of the egg tho. Seem's like a waste just to toss it out.

[@andyjmozer]

Ahhh double strain your drinks with egg white! Nothing worse than bits of egg in your drink

[@joemartinez2987]

You have to shake it better than the video shows. I do a reverse dry shake and I double strain because it yields a smoother head of froth.
