威士忌酸 / Whiskey Sour¶
难度 Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆
技法 Technique: 摇和法 Shake
背景 History¶
威士忌酸是最经典的酸味鸡尾酒之一,起源可以追溯到 1862 年 Jerry Thomas 的调酒指南。"酸酒"(Sour)是一整个鸡尾酒家族的名称——由基酒、柑橘汁和甜味剂三要素组成。威士忌酸以波本威士忌为基酒,口感平衡、入口柔和,是学习摇和法的理想起步酒款。加入蛋白(Egg White)的版本被称为"波士顿酸"(Boston Sour),能带来丝滑的泡沫质感。
The Whiskey Sour is one of the oldest and most iconic sour cocktails, dating back to Jerry Thomas' 1862 bartending guide. The "Sour" is an entire family of cocktails built on a simple formula: spirit, citrus, and sweetener. Using bourbon as the base spirit, the Whiskey Sour is balanced, approachable, and an ideal drink for practising shaking technique. The version with egg white — sometimes called a "Boston Sour" — adds a luxurious, silky foam on top.
配料 Ingredients¶
| 原料 Ingredient | 用量 Amount | 盎司 oz |
|---|---|---|
| 波本威士忌 Bourbon whiskey | 60 ml | 2 oz |

步骤 Instructions¶
中文步骤¶
- 如果使用蛋白,先将所有材料加入摇壶,不加冰进行干摇(Dry Shake)约 15 秒,使蛋白充分乳化起泡。
- 加入冰块,大力摇和 10–15 秒,直到摇壶外壁结霜。
- 使用细滤网(Hawthorne + Fine Strainer)双重过滤,滤入杯中。
- 用柠檬轮片和樱桃装饰。
English Steps¶
- If using egg white, add all ingredients to the shaker without ice and dry shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white.
- Add ice and shake hard for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is frosty.
- Double strain (Hawthorne strainer + fine mesh strainer) into the glass.
- Garnish with a lemon wheel and a cherry.
杯型 Glassware¶
古典杯(加冰饮用)或碟形杯(纯饮)
Rocks glass (served on the rocks) or coupe glass (served up)
装饰 Garnish¶
柠檬轮片 + 鸡尾酒樱桃
Lemon wheel + cocktail cherry
小贴士 Pro Tips¶
- 柠檬汁一定要现榨。 瓶装柠檬汁风味差距巨大。 Always use freshly squeezed lemon juice. Bottled juice tastes noticeably flat.
- 干摇的诀窍: 在干摇阶段可以放入一颗弹簧(Hawthorne 滤网的弹簧)以帮助蛋白更好地起泡。 Dry shake tip: Drop the spring from your Hawthorne strainer into the tin during the dry shake to help whip the egg white.
- 糖浆浓度: 本配方使用 1:1 糖浆;若使用 2:1 浓糖浆(Rich Syrup),减量至 15 ml。 Syrup ratio: This recipe uses 1:1 simple syrup. If using 2:1 rich syrup, reduce to 15 ml.
- 安全提示: 使用新鲜鸡蛋并注意食品安全,免疫力低下者可用巴氏杀菌蛋白代替。 Safety note: Use fresh eggs and follow food safety practices. Pasteurised egg whites are a good alternative for those with health concerns.
