The Whiskey Sour

The Whiskey Sour

If you’re a fan of bold, zesty cocktails with a silky finish, the Ginista Whiskey Sour delivers the perfect balance of smooth whiskey, fresh citrus, and elegant foam. Using Monkey Shoulder whiskey, fresh lemon juice, and our premium Ginista dried lemon slice, this version gives a bright, modern lift to a timeless classic.

We shake together Monkey Shoulder whiskey, the juice of half a lemon, 10–15 ml simple syrup (optional), and 1 egg white for that iconic creamy texture. After shaking with ice, we pour it out and top it with soda water, tonic water, or lemonade — whichever suits your preference. (Most bars opt for soda water for a clean, balanced finish.)

The Ginista Touch:
To complete the cocktail, we garnish with a Ginista dried lemon slice, adding a fragrant citrus aroma and a crisp visual finish that elevates the entire drink.
