John Philip Sour

  • Try this creamy, vanilla-flavoured version of a whisky sour and you may never go back.
  • This cocktail recipe starts with a simple whisky sour and uses ingenuity to enhance it into something bigger — sort of like how our founder, John Philip Wiser, grew his humble distillery into the maker of a great Canadian whisky sold all over the world.
  • The first recorded mention of a whisky sour goes back to the 1860s, roughly about the time when J.P.W. entered the game. Coincidence?

J.P. Wiser’s Vanilla 1 oz.
Lemon juice 1.25 oz.
Simple Syrup 0.25 oz
Egg whites 1 egg

instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker without ice.
  2. Shake vigorously until the drink is frothy.
  3. Add ice to shaker and shake again.
  4. Strain into glass, add garnish, and serve.

Variations & tips

  • Simple syrup is available to purchase at some liquor stores, gourmet food stores and cocktail supply stores (search online).
  • But it’s easy to make your own simple syrup: Add equal parts (say, ¼ cup each) white sugar and water to a saucepan, heat gently (simmer, don’t boil) and stir until sugar is dissolved. Set aside and let it cool before using.
  • Remember to exclude the ice when shaking in steps #1-2 above to ensure that the egg white whips into an attractive, creamy froth. (Bartenders call this technique a “dry shake.”)
