FAQ's
Why is the egg white included in the Extra strong Whisky sour, and how does it affect the cocktail?
The egg white in the Extra strong Whisky sour cocktail is used to create a smooth, frothy texture and to add a silky mouthfeel to the drink. When shaken vigorously, the egg white emulsifies with the other ingredients, creating a creamy top layer that enhances the overall drinking experience.

Can I use a different type of syrup instead of Gomme syrup in the Extra strong Whisky sour?
Yes, you can substitute Gomme syrup with other syrups in the Extra strong Whisky sour. Simple syrup is a common alternative, which you can easily make by dissolving equal parts sugar and water. For a different flavor profile, maple syrup or honey syrup can also be used as substitutes, though keep in mind they will slightly alter the taste of your cocktail.
