This colorful whiskey sour uses pomegranate juice, lemon, and a touch of simple syrup for a tart, fruity spin on the classic. Bourbon and (optional) egg white make it smooth, rich, and foamy.
Add bourbon, lemon juice, pomegranate juice, simple syrup, pomegranate liqueur (if using), and egg white (if using) to a cocktail shaker.
Fill shaker with ice. Shake hard—20 seconds if using egg white, 10 if not.
Strain into a rocks or coupe glass. Garnish with a few pomegranate seeds.
Notes
Fresh lemon juice is key. Egg white adds creamy foam but is optional. For vegan, skip egg. Fine mesh strainer for extra smoothness. Adjust simple syrup to taste. Pomegranate liqueur deepens color and flavor but can be skipped.
