A quick history lesson

Eggs have been a staple in the cocktail world since the 19th century, adding a rich, velvety texture to drinks like the classic Whiskey Sour and the frothy Pisco Sour. The use of egg whites in cocktails can be traced back to pioneering mixologists who discovered their ability to create a luxurious mouthfeel and a picturesque foam. By the early 1900s, eggs featured prominently in many popular recipes, cementing their place in cocktail lore. For the uninitiated, eggs not only enhance the texture but also transform the visual and sensory experience of a well-crafted drink.
