How to Make the Best Tequila Sour
This tequila sour is the perfect refreshing cocktail for any occasion. With its creamy, frothy topping and bright citrus notes, it offers a sophisticated twist on the classic margarita that’s sure to impress your guests.
The secret to this cocktail is the egg white foam—shaking it without ice first breaks down the proteins, and then adding ice creates that luxurious, velvety texture on top. The combination of smooth añejo tequila, tangy lemon juice, and subtle sweetness from agave nectar creates a beautifully balanced drink that’s both elegant and easy to make.
Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply want to enjoy a craft cocktail at home, this tequila sour comes together in just five minutes with only a handful of ingredients. The addition of orange bitters adds a sophisticated depth that elevates this drink beyond your average mixed cocktail.
