In this episode of How to Drink, I’m making a Whiskey Sour - a classic cocktail that has been around since the 1800s and still enjoyed to this day. Sours are a class of drinks that combine spirit, sugar, egg whites and citrus into a delicious frothy libation. This is a drink that you aren’t going to want to put down, and keep coming back for more. Cheers!

You should do one on the fastest way to make a lot of Ramos gin fizzes at once.

Best. Whiskey. Sour. Ever. I see what you mean about wanting to drink the whole thing at once. I just made my first and it lasted five minutes. Definitely worthy of a repeat performance.

Whiskey sour will always & forever will be my drink of choice

@ZakNDBoxNZ 3 года назад

After watching so many of your videos for years, I finally got a good quality bar set for valentines day and made this as my first home made cocktail. Did not disappoint, thanks man!

@ContractOfficeReps 7 лет назад

Made this cocktail for a group of friends and they loved it. With every video I watch I feel like I'm taken back in time. My mouth starts to water and I can't help but buy all the ingredients and supplies you recommend. Keep up the great work!

@howtodrink 7 лет назад

Thank you!

@JosephQuillen 6 лет назад

I can barely stand watching other bar tending channels now. I rewatch yours over and over. Only time I watch someone else is if I'm looking for the most traditional of recipes, or if you haven't yet covered the drink. Thanks for the work you and your crew do! Thank you!

@ChrisKramer_ 5 лет назад

just made this with angostura bitters. probably one of the best drinks i have ever had. thank you.

@Woodcocce 5 лет назад

Thank you Greg, for introducing me to my new favorite drink of all time.

@MrDrumliner 5 лет назад

I have work in a couple hours & here I am binge watching How to Drink. Subscribed bc I’m addicted...to these videos, not alcohol.

@beautifulmeeses 4 года назад

When you look back at old videos by RU-vidrs you think things like, "wait, where's all of the wewd?!" Or, "why is he so depressed?" But in this case, you just still have the obvious joy of just making videos and the workmanship of the video in general is just amazing.

@Nitidus 3 года назад

Made this just now, but without bitters. Because bitters are expensive and I don't have a bar. It's still unbelievably good and SO easy! The egg white ups the quality feeling because of the foam and the thicker texture. Ingenious

@Alexander-mg4pr 6 лет назад

I like the intro where you said, you never worked in a bar but if you made a drink you like, you did it right

@TrevorAngell 6 лет назад

I made these tonight and had a request for a second drink by the time I made the third cocktail.

@nemelissz-genalcoholic7219 4 года назад

in this and the last video is evident the jump of quality from the first few, is really good to see how things were improving until get to what is now

@bond_3239 5 лет назад

Another outstanding video, sir! This was one of my grandpa’s favorite drinks. He was a thirty year Naval Aviator in Korea, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and Vietnam. So, this cocktail epitomizes ‘60s cool in my mind. I’m not the only one that thinks so- “I need to ask myself, 'What would an Apollo astronaut do?' He'd drink three whiskey sours, drive his Corvette to the launchpad, then fly to the moon in a command module smaller than my Rover. Man those guys were cool.” -Andy Weir, The Martian

@philmirez 5 лет назад

The recipe on the screen and the length of the video are both super helpful.

@JaxMerrick 5 лет назад

I just did a variation of this with a dry shake on the egg and a lighter pour of Bruichladdach instead of rye (Bruichladdach Port Charlotte is my favorite whisky). I might have went too deep and made several throughout the night as I was doing some mad science in the kitchen.

@dantate2865 4 года назад

Thank goodness for your episodes during this quarantine. Stepping up at home bartender game one episode at a time. Keep pumping up the awesome material. This whiskey sour was on point.

@DeSoulHCR 2 года назад

Been drinking whiskey sours for years. This recipe changed my life. Same with your Old Fasioned. 2 staples in my glass

You deserve more subscribers. The quality of your videos is the very best.

@andrewmarinelly5838 6 лет назад

I always got shit for drinking Whiskey Sours but when I was younger and mixed everything and drank till it was a battle to stand Whiskey Sours are a great time-out drink. They take a while to drink then to digest and are oddly refreshing and invigorating.

@noahwilliams5207 3 года назад

Reading the comments on your videos makes me so happy because you actually take the time to heart them or comment❤️

@kennyfisher8624 3 года назад

Bro don’t ever change, you’re so much more entertaining than educated barfly. 10/10 would drink with you

@MrJmrk92 5 лет назад

Just recently subscribed after I actually learned quite a bit from some of the newer longer vids where he goes into the history of some drinks. I started watching these older vids, and I because of these I have now found a new drink that I really like, its the whiskey sour! I never new that egg whites were what made some drinks frothy and foamy. Really nice texture when you drink! Thanks man!

@MrKark123 7 лет назад

This is absolutely amazing man. I'm subscribing immediately ! Keep it going, you are truely an artist in my eyes.

@ColemanCovers 3 года назад

Great video, straight to the point. I find myself clicking through most of other drink tutorials but there is no need to click through this one.

@barbarasmucker7303 7 лет назад

Greg, I love this series! So well done! Bo

@SwitchFeathers 2 года назад

Made myself my first ever whiskey sour following the directions in this video (changed out the whiskey and the bitters, though) and immensly pleased with the results! HTD is always my first port of call when it comes to mixing drinks and I have yet to regret that decision.

@ameliadavidson360 4 года назад

I found the video!

@johnmonahan4158 3 года назад

Just made this as my first ever Whiskey Sour. Wow… just wow. This is fantastic!!!

@rberto3804 Год назад

I have fallen in love with this drink because of this video. I now always order this at the bar if we're out for cocktails and never had one yet that is better (some have been equally as good) than this one made at home. Thank you from England.

@marcuswilloughby4259 2 года назад

Made this after a hard day of work. I used four roses and it's absolutely delicious. Cheers!

@LucdeLeeuw 2 года назад

So good! Thanks, my wife and I love them.

@whytry54 5 лет назад

I love this channel. I’ve been making a few drinks with the videos. This is the best so far. Thank you for not being that guy who needs it perfect or else it’s not a good drink. Keep up the good work!

@royroblox 4 года назад

You are the only cocktail-related channel I’m subscribed to, but I love all the videos! I’d been making the whiskey sour for a little while but was always dismayed with how much simple syrup most of the “common” recipes use ... like how you essentially halved it (just how you mentioned)!

@derekreicks3680 2 года назад

You have inspired me! I have a bottle of Glenmorangie extremely rare 18. So I bought some Angostura and made some simple syrup. I love it. I really need to get some cheaper whiskey for this. Thank you!

@B1gHagar 6 лет назад

First time I've seen any of your videos and I went looking for my favorite, the whiskey sour. Some people just put sour mix in it, but you made it right. Egg and all.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

@emielio16 5 лет назад

One of my favorite coctails

@mrloboloco702 6 лет назад

I don't drink at all, but something about watching this guy make drinks is kind of satisfying.

@howtodrink 6 лет назад

I hear that more than you’d think!

@louisianaliving18 Год назад

Just made this. I added a maraschino cherry because why not?Absolutely delicious. I only had angostura bitters so I went with that but it turned great!

@padraicbrady 2 года назад

Only getting started making my own cocktails, but this channel is incredible! I type this after making my first Whiskey Sour, sipping on its delicious lemony bourbon greatness. I need to try this with the Irish whiskeys I have.

@bizichyld 5 месяцев назад

Your cameraperson is an asset. Those slow-mo shots and the old timey music really really sell this channel. Bravo!

@olivergottkehaskamp3369 3 года назад

I just tried this, following your recipe including the Creole Bitters - except for the whiskey, I went with a cheaper rye since I never tried a whiskey sour before 😅 ... what can I say, I now have a new favorite way to drink whiskey - this stuff is absolutely amazing! I love it!! 😮💖

@danielbegay1845 4 года назад

Watched your video and made my first whiskey sour tonight and I love it. Thank you.

@folkmarcmetal 3 года назад

My favorite cocktail so far 👍

@ashbunny5659 4 года назад

I had to go back and look at early episodes, but this is one of my favorite drinks.

@donniewillis2926 5 лет назад

Made these last weekend. OMG they were awesome even mixed with Jim Beam. I drank a bottle in 2 afternoons and evenings. BEST cocktail I've ever had bar none!!

@Dirtyboxer1 4 года назад

I've been making them with Dickel 12 yr and they taste great.

@lamb7283 4 года назад

You are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you sir.

@ernestnowogorski6330 5 лет назад

Try doing: 45ml Whiskey 15ml Simple 20 Lemon/Lime Juice 3 dashes Ango Shake with ice, add egg white and dry shake (reverse dry shake). For me that’s the best one I’ve tried so far. Cheers!

@porkrollpiper 4 года назад

My go to drink for myself (often made so poorly in bars), also the first drink I learned how to make. Well made here! Looks great.

@woodymedia 6 лет назад

This is my favorite hands down so far. Bought a carton of egg whites at the store to speed things up and cut down on mess.

@AverageJoeDrinks 7 лет назад

Love the look of the bitters on the top of this sour. Great job!

@howtodrink 7 лет назад

Thank you!

@phanarithsam2159 2 года назад

It’s great to see your evolution as a bartender, you’re so much more skilled now than before haha

@victorvannatter312 Год назад

I just made one with scotch. Dewars Japanese smooth. It’s kinda Smokey. Interesting New York sour. I liked it

@bsnstoriesfromaguyudontkno8324 4 года назад

@atownadmiral3185 8 лет назад

Once again, another great video!

@simeonstefanov2895 7 лет назад

Greg, I can't express enough my appreciation and admiration for your channel. You my, flannel wearing, bushy faced, booze wizard are a boss. By the way, one question. Why did you skip the dry shake?

@howtodrink 7 лет назад

Simeon Stefanov thank you! Thank you thank you! I skipped the dry shake because while it's never a bad idea, it's not actually always necessary. On the show I use very large, dense ice, and believe it or not that actually has a big effect on a shakers ability to emulsify an egg. Dave Arnold thought he was going to disprove ice quality affecting a shake, was instead startled by the results, and now sells a heavy block of silicone you can toss into a shaker to replicate the extra agitation you get from big heavy ice without actually having big heavy ice. For the purposes of the show I need to be more clear about stuff like this, and I am trying to be. Learning as I go along so stuff like this gets overlooked.

@Director414 6 лет назад

Thanks for the answer. I was wondering this myself. I follow the recipe at home and unfortunately it turned out way too diluted. This will prob get solved with a bigger cube or by dry shaking. :) Thanks for best youtube show ever!

@matt4688 5 лет назад

Dry shake also helps the froth when u put egg white in it

@ZipManGem 4 года назад

@johnlittle20 3 года назад

Gotta try it with a egg white. I made a whiskey sour with basil Hayden’s rum barrel rye, cane sugar simple syrup and fresh lime juice its a game changer with lime juice.

@brandonsellers4472 4 года назад

My first drink was a “whiskey sour” from a college bar. Some Evan Williams topped with lemonade. I discovered this video shortly after and felt like I had been cheated. Kept watching and some years later, I’m now a bartender and a cocktail geek. An old one but a good one, though I’ve yet to get my hands on any creole bitters. Keep on keeping on. 👍

@AllieDann 3 года назад

You have such a great personality, it’s really good to watch. I feel like you would be a fab drinking buddy/dinner guest.

@jacksoneubank2936 7 лет назад

@noahgroves4859 4 года назад

Sometimes I just come back and re-enjoy all these videos 🤣I’m not even old enough to drink yet you just got a cool ass vibe and I love the fallout vids

@TheJebDude 4 года назад

Welp. Tried this on tonight. Drank it down and immediately got up and made a double. Good stuff. Love this channel. Came here because a friend linked your Blue Blazer vid. Have recently gotten into more mixed cocktails. I'm trying to avoid a lot of sugar, so I sub liquid stevia for things like the old fashioned and this drink. Will definitely try more of your recipes. JB

@AndrewJaws 2 года назад

Just made it, I love the egg white and I wish more bars did it.

@brandondapro 8 лет назад

Take my damn like man. Never stop. Really. The potential here kills me every time

@howtodrink 8 лет назад

Thanks so much for saying so!

@AProudRobot 6 лет назад

Love the channel, just tried this and it came out pretty nice indeed. It could use a bit more syrup to my taste though, some recipes call for heavy syrup instead of simple.

@Gham315 4 года назад

Recipe looks good. But from my own personal experience the best method when dealing with egg whites are to shake them twice. Once without ice, second with ice. Really allows you to get a nice creamy foam at the top. Can’t beat a whiskey sour however 👌

@bengerchow1877 3 года назад

I love this channel i just recently bought a mixing kit. This is the first thing im going to make

@scottalbers2518 4 года назад

Great channel! Perfect presentation. Love the background music!

@catlikecreature 5 лет назад

This is 100% the right way to make it. To any one who is weirded out by the egg whites, try one without them and then one with them and you'll never go back

@charliesanders4065 3 года назад

dude your foam>> anything i could pour. that presentation is insane

@rosskalina2487 5 лет назад

Huge fan of the show! Just made this for the first time and it. Is. Magical. Pretty sure my grammar is gawbage but I don’t care. This is awesome. Slainté 🥃

@staaswolter641 5 лет назад

I've never had one with egg whites. But this is one of my go to drinks.
