Simon explains that the goal is to make the cocktail &#8220;not too tart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Start with a quality spirit: &#8220;whiskey doesn&#8217;t have to be expensive, to be good quality,&#8221; explains Simon. Makers Mark, Jim Bean and Knob Creek, all made his list of quality spirits that mix well into cocktails.<\/p>\n<p>He notes that the sour component should enhance the spirit.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"shaken-not-stirred\">Shaken, Not Stirred<\/h3>\n<p>Many things work as proper substitutes to a shaker,\u00a0&#8220;you don&#8217;t need to get fancy, you can use a Mason jar instead of a shaker, getting the portions right is what matters,&#8221; says Simon.<\/p>\n<p>If a drink pours too tart, it&#8217;s fixed easily by adding \u00a0more syrup.\u00a0If it&#8217;s too strong, adding water can dull the drink down. Some people choose to add .5 oz of egg white to mellow the citrus tones and create a frothy consistency.<\/p>\n<p>The interchangeable parts in a sour are what make this drink fun. A person can interchange the spirit base \u2014\u00a0for example substituting one part whiskey for sloe gin\u00a0\u2014 or use a flavored fruit syrup instead of an unflavored one to create an exotic interpretation of the drink. For example, \u00a0Simon&#8217;s Whiskey Passion Fruit Sour uses\u00a0.75 oz Monin Passion fruit syrup (see recipes on page two).<\/p>\n<p>Not everyone is into DIY cocktails, in that case Simon suggests\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/crudoaz.com\/Home.html\">Crudo<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/virtuscottsdale.com\/\">Virtu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"recipies\">Recipies<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Whiskey Passion Fruit Sour<\/strong><br \/>\n2 oz Makers Mark Whiskey<br \/>\n1 oz Fresh lemon juice<br \/>\n.75 oz Monin Passion fruit syrup<br \/>\n.5oz egg white<br \/>\npour all ingredients into cocktail shaker filled with ice.
