The Whiskey Sour

Richard Sherman: “Miss Morris, I’m perfectly capable of fixing my own breakfast. As a matter of fact, I had a peanut butter sandwich and two whiskey sours.”

As Miss Morris, when we hear “The Seven Yea Itch” (1955), we think Whiskey Sours; and vice versa:

  • 1½ oz Bourbon Whisky
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • ½ Gomme syrup
  • 1 dash egg white

Shake with ice, strain into ice-filled old-fashioned glass and serve on the rocks … and try to keep your eyes on the drink.
