1pt Ginger Sour Recipe
1pt Ginger Sour
This vibrant twist on a classic whiskey sour combines bright citrus with the warming spice of infused ginger softened by a background hint of elderflower, creating a cocktail that’s both refreshing and bold. It’s perfect for any occasion that calls for a little zing.
STEP 1 - Easy All-Natural Infusion
Infuse Your Spirit:
Combine a 1pt Ginger Infusion Blend Packet with 375ml of whiskey (suggest Irish) in any lidded container. Let it infuse for 2-3 hours, then strain, and reserve the infused spirit for your cocktails. (No need to refrigerate - infused spirits can be stored indefinitely at room temperature)
1pt Ginger Infusion Blend Ingredients:
Ginger, Elderflower - no sugar, gluten, dairy, nuts, additives, or preservatives
Mocktail* Version:
Substitute water or a zero-proof spirit for the alcohol in this infusion and follow the same steps. (Non-alcoholic infusions should be refrigerated and used within 30 days)
STEP 2 - Mix Your Drink
| Ingredient | Cocktail (1) | Batch (6+) |
|---|---|---|
| 1pt Ginger-infused Whiskey* | 2.0 oz | 375ml |
| Fresh Lemon Juice | 1.0 oz | 6 oz |
| Simple Syrup | 0.75 | 5 oz |
Mixing Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake until chilled. Strain into a suitable glass - “up” or over ice. For batching, do not shake. Instead, combine all ingredients in a pitcher with ice (adding 4 oz of water to mimic the dilution you usually get from shaking) and serve as normal.
Garnish:
Garnish with a lemon twist and a mint sprig or a thin slice of fresh ginger for a zesty, aromatic touch.
STEP 3 - Enjoy!
For an Added Twist:
Add a dash of aromatic bitters or a few slices of muddled ginger to deepen the spicy, complex flavor profile.
