This Whiskey Sour recipe calls for egg whites. It'll add viscosity and texture that pairs beautifully with the fresh lemon and bourbon.  This recipe employs something called the reverse dry shake to maximize the froth on the drink. You shake hard with ice, strain out the liquid, then shake again without ice to further emulsify.  You should have a nice, thick froth on the top of your drink, perfect to float some dashes of bitters on the top.  Finish it off with a quality Luxardo maraschino cherry from Italy, your guests will truly thank you. (Video by Kimberly Yuen)
