Notes

Ingredient Notes:
Tequila: Anejo tequila has been aged and is smoother in flavor making it the best variation to use in a tequila sour.
Lemon and Lime Juice: Fresh is always best for cocktails.
Agave Nectar: Agave is the perfect sweetener for a Tequila sour since it has the same base as tequila. Simple Syrup can easily be used instead.
Egg Whites: You always want to use pasteurized eggs in cocktail recipes to avoid any bacteria from raw eggs. A pasteurized egg is gently heated to kill bacteria but not enough to cook the egg. You can also buy a carton of pasteurized egg whites at your local grocery store, which makes it easy to whip up cocktails quickly without having to separate an egg.
This drink is made with a dry shake method. A dry shake is when you shake a cocktail without ice. After the drink has gotten nice and foamy, pour it over ice to chill the drink.
This method is commonly used when you are making a sour or any drink with an egg white.
Shake your drink vigorously for at least 30-60 seconds. Shaking the drink adds air to the egg whites giving you the foamy, creamy layer on the top of the drink
