Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white if using.
  • Shake without ice for about 10 seconds if using egg white to emulsify the ingredients. This process is called "dry shaking".
  • Add ice to the shaker and shake again for about 15-20 seconds to chill and dilute the drink.
  • Strain the cocktail into a glass. Typically, a Tequila Sour is served in a rocks glass.
  • Garnish with a cherry or lemon wheel and serve immediately.
