For a smoother texture, use simple syrup instead of superfine sugar. Start with 1 fluid ounce of simple syrup and adjust to taste. Freshly squeezed lemon juice is crucial for the best flavor. Avoid bottled lemon juice, as it can taste artificial. Adjust the sweetness and sourness to your preference by adding more sugar or lemon juice, respectively. Experiment with different types of whiskey to find your perfect match. Bourbon, rye, or Scotch can all be used in a Whiskey Sour. For a frothy texture, add an egg white to the shaker before shaking. This is known as a Boston Sour. To chill the glass quickly, fill it with ice and water while you prepare the cocktail, then discard the ice water before straining the drink.
