How to Make the Best Perfect Jameson Whiskey Sour

This Perfect Jameson Whiskey Sour combines smooth Irish whiskey with bright lemon juice and a cloud-like frothy topping that makes it feel like something you’d order at a high-end cocktail bar.
What sets this whiskey sour apart is the two-part shaking technique: the dry shake (without ice) creates that luxurious, creamy foam using the egg white, and then the wet shake (with ice) chills and properly dilutes the drink. The result is a perfectly smooth, refreshing cocktail with incredible texture and beautiful presentation.
Whether you’re an Irish whiskey enthusiast or just looking for a sophisticated cocktail to impress your guests, this Jameson whiskey sour is sure to become a favorite. It’s light enough to enjoy year-round, but with just the right amount of festive spirit to make any celebration special.
