You will need:

• 50 ml whisky

• 30 ml gomme/sugar syrup

• 25 ml lime/lemon juice

• 10ml cherry syrup

• 1 egg white

• ice

• a handful of fresh cherries or sour cherries (4-5 pitted cherries for shaking and a few whole cherries for garnishing)

• optional: a few slices of lime, for garnishing

How to:

1. Fill a rocks glass with ice cubes

2. Add everything except the whole cherries to the cocktail shaker, add ice and shake well

3. Strain the ice, return everything to the cocktail shaker and shake again, this time without the ice

4. Strain into the glass

5. Garnish with the cherries and lime slices

6. Enjoy!

• To make the sugar syrup, simply use 2 parts sugar to 1 part hot water, stir until the sugar dissolves, then leave it to cool down completely. After that, please store it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

• I prefer lime juice with the cherry version of a whisky sour, but if lemon is all you have in the house, it will do the job just as well

• Use whatever whisky you desire or have available, but preferably something with a lot of flavour

• If you're not a fan of egg white, you can simply omit it.
