Tequila Sour
Ingredients
- 2 ounces blanco or reposado tequila
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice ~1 lemon (see Notes)
- 1/2 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
- 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.)
- Add ice to the shaker and shake for an additional 30 seconds.
- Add ice to an old fashioned glass. Strain the cocktail into the glass.
- 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.
