Try a fresh Blueberry Whiskey Sour recipe today. Perfect mix of tart and sweet.

2 ounces whiskey bourbon works well
1 ounce fresh lemon juice
1/2 ounce simple syrup equal parts sugar and water, heated until sugar dissolves, then cooled
1/2 cup fresh blueberries plus a few for garnish
1 egg white for frothiness
Optional: A few dashes of bitters aromatic or orange bitters are a good choice

Prepare the Simple Syrup:
Combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let it cool before using.
Muddle the Blueberries:
In a shaker, muddle the fresh blueberries with the simple syrup until well smashed. This releases the juice and flavor of the berries.
Mix the Cocktail:
To the muddled blueberries, add whiskey, lemon juice, and ice. If you're using it, add the egg white as well.
If you like, add a few dashes of bitters for extra flavor.
Shake:
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. If you're using egg white, you'll want to shake it a bit longer to ensure it's fully frothy.
Strain and Serve:
Strain the mixture into a chilled glass filled with ice. Some prefer to double strain to remove all blueberry pulp and seeds.
Garnish and Enjoy:
Garnish with a few fresh blueberries and a lemon twist.
