the best damn whiskey sour

So occasionally I will post drinks that I've made that I think you should make. This one is for a whiskey sour that just might surprise you. 

You will need:

Ingredients:

1/2 oz lemon juice (fresh squeezed is best)

2 oz whiskey. In the photo Is Smoke and Cask, a whiskey from Holland, Michigan, but you can also use any quality whiskey.

1/2 oz simple syrup. For this I recommend a brown sugar simple syrup, but in the photo I used a teaspoon of brown sugar. 

A drop of saline. You can also use a pinch of salt.

1 egg. 

Maraschino cherry 

Tools:

Two shakers

Egg separator

Start by pouring the lemon juice, whiskey, simple syrup, and saline over ice in one shaker and set that to the side. 

Next, take the egg separator and place it over the second shaker and get only the egg white in the shaker. Cap that shaker and shake the ever living snot out of it. No ice, just egg.  You won't get a very good seal, so hold it tight. 

Pour that now beaten egg white into the first shaker (the one you set aside) and shake again. When you pour, try to avoid letting too much ice through.

Drop a cherry into that drink and enjoy.
