Heartbreaker
The Woodinville Straight Bourbon combines perfectly with the sweetness of the strawberries, and the egg white creates a smooth, frothy texture. The lemon juice adds a refreshing tartness, while the soda water brings a fizzy finish to the cocktail.
Ingredients
2 oz bourbon whiskey
1 oz fresh lemon juice
1/2 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
3-4 fresh strawberries (hulled)
1/2 oz egg white
Soda water (to top)
Ice
Fresh cut strawberry (for garnish)
Method
- Muddle the strawberries: In a cocktail shaker, muddle the fresh strawberries to release their juices.
- Add the remaining ingredients: To the shaker, add rye whiskey, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white (optional, for froth and texture).
- Dry shake: Shake all ingredients vigorously without ice to emulsify the egg white and create foam.
- Shake with ice: Add ice to the shaker and shake again until chilled.
- Strain: Fine strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with ice, or into a coupe glass for a more elegant presentation.
- Top with soda: Add a splash of soda water to create a light fizz.
- Garnish: Garnish with a fresh strawberry or a lemon wheel on the rim.
