Ultimate Vodka Sour Recipe 🥂 Easy DIY Guide to Craft the Perfect Cocktail

Описание: Vodka Sour Recipe (Classic Version as Shown)
Ingredients (for 1 cocktail):

60 ml (2 oz) vodka
30 ml (1 oz) fresh lemon juice
20-25 ml (¾ oz) simple syrup (adjust to taste for sweetness)
1 egg white (for frothy texture; optional but common in sours for silkiness)
Ice cubes
Garnish: lemon twist or cherry (optional)

Tools:

Cocktail shaker
Strainer
Coupe or rocks glass

Step-by-Step Guide:

Prepare the shaker: Add the egg white to the cocktail shaker first. (This is a "dry shake" step to build foam without dilution.)
Dry shake: Shake vigorously without ice for 10-15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create a frothy meringue-like texture.
Add main ingredients and ice: Open the shaker and add the vodka, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and a handful of ice cubes.
Wet shake: Shake hard again for 10-20 seconds to chill and dilute the drink properly.
Strain: Double-strain (using the shaker strainer and a fine mesh strainer) into a chilled coupe glass (or over fresh ice in a rocks glass if preferred).
Garnish and serve: Add a lemon twist on the rim or a cherry. The top should have a thick, creamy foam layer.

Enjoy responsibly! This results in a balanced, tart, and frothy cocktail. Adjust syrup for sweeter or more sour preferences.
