Blood Orange Bourbon Sour
Equipment
- Cocktail Shaker
- Coupe or rocks glass
Ingredients
- 2 oz Bourbon
- 1 oz Fresh blood orange juice
- 0.75 oz Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 oz Simple syrup
- 1 Egg white (or 1 oz aquafaba for vegan version)
- Ice
- 3 droppers Blood orange juice or orange bitters (Garnish)
- Dried blood orange slice (Garnish)
Instructions
- Dry shake: Add the bourbon, blood orange juice, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white to a cocktail shaker WITHOUT ice. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds. This emulsifies the egg white and creates that signature foam.
- Wet shake: Add ice to the shaker and shake again vigorously for another 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.
- Double strain into a chilled coupe glass or over fresh ice in a rocks glass.
- Wait 10-15 seconds for the foam to settle and rise to the top.
- Garnish: Using a dropper or carefully from a spoon, add 3 drops of blood orange juice (or orange bitters) on top of the foam. Use a cocktail pick to drag through the drops to create a decorative pattern. Place a dried blood orange slice on the rim or float it on the foam.
