For a smoother sour, use a fine-mesh strainer to remove any ice shards after shaking. Experiment with different whiskeys to find your favorite flavor profile. Bourbon adds a sweeter note, while Rye provides a spicier kick. If you prefer a less tart drink, adjust the amount of lemon juice to your liking. For a sophisticated touch, consider adding a dash of egg white to the shaker for a frothy texture (ensure you are using pasteurized egg whites for safety).
