The Whiskey Sour is the undisputed King of Sour Cocktails, but are you making it the right way? Depends on which version you look at probably, as there have been many different ones throughout the 140+ year history of this cocktail. So today we’ll go through its history to find out if the Modern Whiskey Sour is better than the older ones! I’ll first make the stirred 1900 version featured in the Twentieth Century Guide for Mixing Fancy Drinks, replacing only the $22,000 Hermitage Rye Whiskey with a cheaper Rittenhouse Rye! We’ll then jump to the 1883 Frosted Sour from the Bar-keeper's Guide, which is the first appearance of egg white in the Whiskey Sour. I’ll end with a Modern 2023 Whiskey Sour using Super Juice and Super Syrup to make a vegan and sustainable alternative to this classic drink. If you love history and cocktails, make sure to get comfy and ready for today’s episode of Old vs New. Cheers!

Definitely the modern version 😎

@phantomhandofcocktailtime6911 Год назад

Having 8 Whiskey Sours does sound like whiskey business 😂

@powderhousewood Год назад

Bourbon, lemon, simple syrup, egg white and a splash of bitters on the foam. I love your videos - thank you for sharing your knowledge!

@HansAlRachid Год назад

I'll give these versions a shot, definitely sounds interesting! I usually make my whiskey sours with eggwhite, about a barspoon of sugar and using lime instead of lemon. Oh and then I add two dashes of ango bitters in the serving glass. Ideally I like to use Glenfiddich, as that one's nice and affordable and goes really well with the lime, but that's personal preference.

@danielgalil5020 Год назад

I make my whiskey sours with rye and an egg white. It tastes like a cinnnamon lemonade and it's altogether lovely. Btw, I love how you plug in Liber and co. I use their orgeat for alot of my cocktails.

@KevinKos Год назад

I love their products! Thank you!

"Hi, friends of cotail"... i hear that and i know the contect will be great

@mattia_carciola Год назад

As I don't like bitter flavour I'd probably lean toward the sweetest of the three (I mostly use my whiskey as an ingredient: tomorrow I'll prepare a pumpkin-whiskey risotto)

@volodymyrd5793 Год назад

I like whiskey sour so much. Started make it at home with different recipies, always with egg white. After your video I ordered gliffard egg white suryp. Just tried it by your video and I like it! Much more convenient than cracking the egg and spoil egg white everywhere. The taste is reach and classy! Thanks for the channel and your work! Cheers!

@KevinKos Год назад

I didn't know that giffard has an egg white syrup. I have to try it. Thank you for the support!

@kruzfuz Год назад

i love dan sabo's whiskey sour recipe. he adds half an ounce of fresh orange juice and it does wonders to the drink. punch did a ranking and his version came out on top! but other than that, i'd always choose a new york sour, and all it's riffs, over a classic whiskey sour. red wine and whiskey is a fantastic match, sometimes a dash or two of orange bitters add some extra magic. cheers!

@alexanderhobbins1728 Год назад

My preferred whiskey sour is with Green Spot Irish whiskey (45ml), Benebectine liqueur (5ml), 2-1 sugar syrup (15ml), lemon juice (20ml) and 1/5 pipette foaming agent.

@KevinKos Год назад

Nice! Thank you for sharing!

Made this last week on vacation. Enjoi! Yellow Sour Patch Kid (whiskey sour smash) Muddle lemon quarters (1/3 🍋) 1 1/2 Oz Peach Whiskey Egg white 1/2 Oz simple syrup 1 Oz pineapple lemonade Dry shake Add ice shake and double strain into a mason jar with ice Garnish Lemon slice and one mint leaf

@rachieanne_8 Год назад

Hey Kevin! I recently made a cocktail that I later called ‘The Voyagers Sour’ It uses Lost Irish Whiskey, Grand Marnier, fresh lemon juice, a homemade tangerine simple syrup, and of course, egg white. I usually garnish with a sprig of rosemary. Lost Irish is casked from barrels in six continents! So I wanted to create a sour that complimented that. I wonder if you could ‘elevate’ this cocktail? Maybe create a foam that doesn’t involve egg white. 🤔 Anyway, I love your videos! Thanks for creating such amazing content!

@seattlegrrlie Год назад

It's been a long time, but I always went egg white and orange bitters with an oz of fresh lemon and simple syrup. Might need to have a few people over and make that classic

@krisissocoollike Год назад

Wonderful.

@kawonewilliams1949 Год назад

That's a damn good suit. Whiskey sours used to be my favorite cocktail, a time gone bye.

KEVIN!!! I love a good Whiskey sour!!! I'll go for the modern with the egg whites. I think I'll make one this weekend!!! Great video!!! CHEERS!!!

@KevinKos Год назад

Enjoy! 🥂🤩

@mauriziobernardini6974 Год назад

I add a couple dash of angostura bitter in my ws to give it a little kick, with stillabunt foamer instead of the egg white.

I like my Whiskey Sour with a bourbon that has a high rye mash bill. Sometimes I do a Laphroaig Whisky Sour with ginger sirup. The winter edition

@Brittoodles Год назад

Definitely going to try this new Whiskey sour out! I would love to see a new take on an aviation!

@KevinKos Год назад

Thanks!

@SarawakPollster Год назад

have you tried using a heavily peated scotch for the whisky base in a modern recipe? Its amazing :D

@Xune666 Год назад

My personal favourite whisky sour is made with peated scotch - preferably Laphroaig 10. I typically sub egg white with home-made aquafaba (i.e. not from can), since I don't trust quality of eggs on the market. Peated scotch adds very strong aroma even when mixed, but it makes Laphroaig taste less aggresive thanks to dilution. Perfect usage for me - and saves Lagavulin 16 for drinking neat :)

@eronackerman565 Год назад

Pricey cocktail, but that sounds really good!

@ellyam991 Год назад

I do like a sherried blended scotch for a whisky sour, the raisiny and darker notes make for a very interesting drink!

@KevinKos Год назад

I love it too! 🤩

@BrandonCerelius Год назад

I am a sucker for the Clarified New York Sour.

@Ayndagram Год назад

Great drink! You miss the version of Elliott Stubb with Pica's lemon hahaha 🍹

@markmcvicar2654 Год назад

So I'm using Rittenhouse... 🤣🤣🤣 Great video! I love a sour with rye in the winter for the spice, and with a sweeter bourbon in the summer.

@tesselabkee7296 Год назад

finally this drink on You channel!

@KevinKos Год назад

Cheers!

@mazer1996 Год назад

Amazing as always! What about using bitters in the foam made by the egg white? Some people say it’s good to avoid the smell of the egg white foam while you’re drinking the cocktail. What do you think?

@KevinKos Год назад

Yes, bitters significantly reduce the smell of an egg white.

@AngryCocktails Год назад

I'd definitely only go for the modern recipe

@bruahh530 Год назад

I like my whiskey sours like the second recipe but I prefer it in a Coupe or Nick and Nora glass and without the sugar on the rim and no lemon wheel. Always with bourbon with a higher rye mash bill and has to be over 100 proof. Also, I like to top my whiskey sour at the end after pouring it in the glass with some bitters, which I think helps mask the egg white and gives it a nice presentation. The length of time you shake is very helpful to how much foam you produce. I usually do the dry shake first, then add ice. I've also heard from the podcast Cocktail College, if you remove the chalazae (stringy part of the egg white), it will allow you to dry shake longer than 10 seconds before the gas builds up and can sometimes cause you to spill your drink.

@KevinKos Год назад

Thank you for sharing your preferences for whiskey sour. Cheers!

@davidbjorkdahl7763 Год назад

I use egg whites, but often add a couple of drops of angostura. Or even sometimes use maple syrup instead of sugar.

Great suggestion! Thanks!

@FantomMind Год назад

I prefer Rye with my Whisky Sours. Egg white or topped with some red wine are both nice. I don't really have a preference for either. It really depends on my mood. I've tried doing both and hate it.

How about a Chicago sour with malort

@BisZwo Год назад

When I go full fancy I like a bit of variation : I call it the smoky sour lol. I go for : 6cl monkey shoulder (nice mid range blended) 1cl Laphroaig 10 (or an equivalent Islay pleated single malt like the Ardberg 10) - it gives a nice smoky touch without overwhelming the drink 2cl lemon juice 1cl lime juice (optional but gives an extra acidity kick that enlightens the drink as well ) 1,5 Cl demarara syrup Egg white Then classic : Dry shake Shake Double strain Lemon peel

@KevinKos Год назад

Nice! Thank you for sharing your preferred recipe!

Larceny, Ango, Simple, Egg White.

@matthiasdoepner Год назад

What do you think of using icing sugar like Charles Schumann does in his Whiskey Sour recipe? Also no egg white in there. As I'm more into Rye than Bourbon I did a Greenwich Sour many times instead of a New York Sour, the red wine float is just great, a wonderful cocktail.

@KevinKos Год назад

I am not such a big fan of sugar rims, but I will check the one you mentioned. Thank you!

@matthiasdoepner Год назад

@@KevinKos No sugar rim. Just icing sugar or call it powder sugar instead of syrupe is what Schumann uses often in his recipes. And the Greenwich Sour is a Rye New York Sour.

@wwoolofl8056 Год назад

For the super syrup do you use high viscosity methyl cellulose? That’s all I can find…

@KevinKos Год назад

Try to find F50 methylcellulose or the one I got from specialingredients.com

@judokazuzu Год назад

❤❤❤

@nicolahohler3578 Год назад

Hi Kevin. I made you recipe of super syrup, but the omount of foam I get is really not much, even after a dry shake... with aquafaba, for example, I get much more foam... but if, instead of dryshaking it, I use a milk frother I get tons of foam. Why do you think is that? Thank! cheers

@bruahh530 Год назад

You gotta really give it a long shake. I usually shake for a minute.

@KevinKos Год назад

Maybe you need to shake it for longer. And make sure you chill it properly with the wet shake so that the syrup will emulsify better

@mdbbox5660 Год назад

Whiskey sours are a lowbrow drink for me, mostly to remind me of college. They're really the only way I voluntarily drink whiskey. I use bottled whiskey sour mix and cheap whiskey, about 50/50. I do put a dash of Angostura orange bitters in though, and I toss in a cheap maraschino cherry (no Luxardo here). I will sometimes add a cadillac foam (egg, OJ, orange liqueur, orange bitters) on top for a high/low drink, but not often. They're great! Don't let anyone tell you that what you like isn't good!
