Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• It’s Easy — This is a super simple cocktail to make that is very approachable for beginner at home bartenders. 
• Year Round Cocktail — Since it’s made with pineapple juice, this is a great cocktail that you can make at any time of the year!
• Not too sweet — This recipe is a perfect choice for someone looking for a whiskey cocktail that isn’t overly sweet. It has just the right amount of flavor (and it’s easy to make it a bit stronger if you prefer!).

Ingredients

• Pineapple Juice: Use a high quality, pulp free pineapple juice. If you can’t find pure pineapple juice, you can use a blended tropical juice that is a combination of citrus flavors. 
• Whiskey: Use whatever type of whiskey-bourbon you prefer. Generally mid-shelf whiskeys are best for mixing into cocktails (save the high end whiskey for drinking on the rocks). 
• Lemon Juice: Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor. Avoid using bottled lemon juice if possible. 
• Aquafaba: This recipe uses aquafaba (the liquid on top of a can of chickpeas), to make the foam that sits on top of the cocktail. You can replace this with an egg white, or you can leave it out entirely.

How To Make A Pineapple Whiskey Sour

Step 1: Add the pineapple juice, whiskey, lemon juice and aquafaba to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.

Step 2: Shake for 20 to 30 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosted. Strain into a cocktail glass.

Expert Tips

• Chill your cocktail glasses. Since this drink is not served over ice, chilling the cocktail glasses in advance can help keep the drink cold for longer. 
• Shake the aquafaba separately. Sometimes after vigorously shaking the cocktail, the aquafaba can get stuck inside the shaker. If this happens, you may find gently shaking aquafaba separately and pouring it on top of the whiskey sour helps create a better foam layer. 
• Use fresh pineapple juice. If you have the time, use a juicer to make fresh pineapple juice for this cocktail — it doesn’t compare to using a store bought juice!
• Use pineapple whiskey. This is the perfect cocktail to use pineapple whiskey if you have it. If you are using pineapple whiskey, you can reduce the amount of pineapple juice you add so it doesn’t overpower the drink.
• Make it stronger. You can reduce the amount of pineapple juice to make a stronger tasting whiskey sour. Use 2 ounces instead of 4 ounces for a stronger whiskey sour.
