Sours aren’t just for whiskey; tequila lightens things up. For extra froth, use egg white when you shake the drink.

Cooking Notes

Adam

Egg white is not optional

John R

It does seem that she’s using regular Angostura bitters in the video, but Angostura does indeed make orange bitters as well, which I used and thought worked out quite well.

Chris

Using the egg white from a whole egg rather than 1 tsp makes the drink much smoother

Betsy

Angostura bitters (as in the video) or "Angostura orange bitters" (is there such a thing)?

Anni

Twice at much egg white

Kim

I liked this overall, but I think I didn't make it sour enough! So I will try adding more lemon juice next time, or maybe less egg white, not sure. Someone else said to add 3 tsp egg white and I think my egg white quantity was higher than that.

T3quila

Used 3 tsp of egg whites- came out frothy & phenomenal

Adrienne

Angostura is a brand so yes, it's Angostura orange bitters

Chris

Using the egg white from a whole egg rather than 1 tsp makes the drink much smoother

Adam

Also mole bitters or Mexican chocolate bitters just elevates it to the next level

Egg white is not optional

Alie

Makes for a very sour drink not sweet at all. Very refreshing!
