Bunny's Tequila Sour Tequila Cocktail Recipe
This recipe puts a twist on the classic whiskey sour by using tequila. It's a tasty drink that's easy to make at home.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Jigger or measuring cup
- Strainer
- Ice
- Cocktail glass
Ingredients
Here's what you'll need to make one Tequila Sour:
- 2 oz silver tequila
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 3/4 oz simple syrup
- 1 egg white optional
- Ice
- Lime wheel for garnish
Use good quality tequila for the best taste. Fresh lime juice makes a big difference compared to bottled.
Instructions
Follow these steps to mix up a Tequila Sour:
- Add tequila, lime juice, simple syrup, and egg white (if using) to a cocktail shaker.
- Fill the shaker with ice.

For a frothier drink, do a "dry shake" first. Shake all ingredients without ice, then add ice and shake again.
Notes
The egg white gives the drink a silky texture and nice foam on top. It's safe to use, but you can leave it out if you prefer.
