You can always add a touch of sweetness, a splash of soda water or even a splash of egg white to create the traditional sour taste. There is also a possibility that the perfect blend will change from whiskey to another. An excellent way to dress up Scotch whisky is with scotch sour.
With just two ingredients, this variation on the whiskey sour is simple and tasty. You should really try this scotch cocktail because it’s one of the most delicious combinations of whisky you can make, with a completely different experience with each new whisky you stir in.
Tips
- Blended scotches tend to be preferred over single malts because they have smoother and more balanced flavors that are unmatched by single malts.
- Lemon juice fresh from the tree is a must. It is impossible to achieve the clean taste of scotch by bottled forms. Stir this cocktail for about 30 seconds in the shaker, if you prefer.
