Tequila Sour
Author: Nicole
Ingredients
  • 2 ounces blanco or reposado tequila
  • 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice (~1 lemon) (see Notes)
  • ½ ounce freshly squeezed lime juice (~ 1 lime) (see Notes)
  • 2 ounces agave nectar
  • 1 egg white (from 1 large egg)
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • Garnish: maraschino cherry (see Notes) and lime slice
Instructions
  1. Add tequila, lemon juice, lime juice, agave nectar, egg white and Angostura bitters to a cocktail shaker. Shake for 15 seconds. (This is a dry shake as there’s no ice.)
  2. Add ice to the shaker and shake for an additional 30 seconds.
  3. Add ice to an old fashioned glass. Strain the cocktail into the glass.
  4. Garnish with a maraschino cherry and lime slice.
Notes
* Before squeezing a lemon or lime, heat it in a microwave for about 15 seconds and then rub it back and forth on the counter top. This easy two-step process results in more juice per piece of fruit.
* You can also serve this cocktail up (with no ice) in a coupe or Nick and Nora glass.
* For cherries, I prefer Luxardo Maraschino Cherries.
