A Whiskey Sour – The Perfect Cocktail for A Steak Dinner

March 3, 2023

It’s Fridaaaaaay! That means time to mix up something yummy ? We absolutely love a delicious Whiskey Sour… especially when Derrick is grilling steaks! He’s perfected the recipe, and we don’t even use expensive whiskey or bourbon, mainly because the lemon and sugar will cover the complexities that set those whiskeys apart. And, I personally love adding egg whites for that extra frothy cocktail, but Derrick prefers his without. To each his or her own! ?

CLOUZ HOUZ TIP: Want to get an extra frothy Whiskey Sour? Make a reverse dry shake — shake the cocktail with ice first; strain the ice out, and re-shake. It’s sooo delicious!

The other key ingredient: fresh squeezed lemon juice! Don’t try and substitute with lemon juice from a bottle. It’s just not the same, so don’t skip this step. We just juice a bunch of lemons at once with our juicer and keep it in a jar in the fridge.

Lastly, invest in good Maraschino cherries that are dripping in thick syrupy sauce … this Italian brand is our go-to!

THE PERFECT WHISKEY SOUR

2 ounces whiskey

3/4 ounce freshly-squeezed lemon juice

1/2 ounce simple syrup

1 large egg white

Ice

2 to 3 drops Angostura bitters, optional

 

Shake all ingredients in a shaker (see note above for an extra frothy technique) and serve up with cherries. Or, try our favorite method: pour over an extra big cube (here’s the tray we use). Sip and enjoy with grilled steaks, and you have yourself a perfect night in. Cheers!

This was such a strange full-circle moment. I could immediately remember being 30 years old, standing in those rooms with Derrick and trying to figure out what the heck we were doing!! We had ideas. We weren’t afraid of a project. I had loved design long before it became my career. But I didn’t have a process yet.

Now, after 15 years of designing homes for other people, I can see exactly what I was missing: a way to make the decisions as a whole instead of one at a time (and on my own).

That’s probably why The Design Suite feels so personal to me. It’s built for someone who reminds me a lot of myself back then—the homeowner who appreciates beautiful spaces, is happy to execute, but wants an experienced design team to establish the vision and work through the decisions before the orders are placed and the contractor needs answers.

And you don’t have to do it all tomorrow. Having the plan means you can implement it at the pace that makes sense for you. I would’ve loved to have that roadmap in this little Portland house.

If you’re standing in your own version of it right now, wondering where to begin, I’d love to hear about it.

September always does something to my design brain.
These are 5 things I can’t stop pinning right now as we head into fall. Some were already working into our own home and some are showing up in client projects.

I’m going much deeper on all five in today’s Design Board Pinnings—how I’d actually use them, the ideas I’m saving, pieces I’ve sourced + a few things we’re doing at Sixth Street.

It lands in inboxes later today. Comment ‘LIST’ (or link in bio) and I’ll send you the link to subscribe so you don’t miss it.

Interior designer by day. Reluctant content creator... also by day, apparently.

When I started this business in 2022, I knew I’d be designing homes, meeting with clients, sourcing, problem solving, running a team-all the things I genuinely love.

What I didn’t quite account for was how often I’d have to stand in front of a camera and attempt to form a coherent sentence.

Almost four years in and, unfortunately, this part has not gotten any easier. But sharing our work, my ideas, the things I’m learning and even some of the messier parts of running a small business has become such a big part of what we do.

So here’s a little peek at what normally gets cut from the final edit.

Fellow designers/business owners... please tell me I’m not the only one with 47 takes of a 10-second sentence.
