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!

Everyone wants their home to feel elevated. What most people don’t realize is that it rarely comes from choosing the most expensive countertop or the prettiest light fixture.

During every project, we’re constantly asking ourselves, “Will this actually make life better?” Does this layout make unloading groceries easier? Is there somewhere to put the toaster instead of leaving it on the counter? Will there be enough storage for the things this family actually owns? Is this chair beautiful... and somewhere you’ll want to sit every night?

I think people assume we spend our days obsessing over fabrics and finishes. Truthfully, we spend just as much time talking through layouts, storage, and the tiny decisions you’ll appreciate every single day. Those conversations don’t always show up in a highlight reel, but they’re usually the reason a home feels so good to live in.

You don’t have to have every decision figured out before reaching out. Most of our clients come to us because they know something isn’t working—they just need help seeing what’s possible. Schedule an hour consultation with me and we can talk through your project (link in bio)!

POV: You want a home you love... but you don’t have the budget to do it all at once.

And then you find our studio!

I’d rather see you create one room you absolutely love than stretch yourself across an entire house and feel like nothing is ever finished. One finished room gives you momentum. It reminds you why you started. And it gives you a clear vision for everything that comes next.

One of the things we help clients with is deciding where to begin. Together, we create a roadmap that allows your home to evolve thoughtfully over time-without feeling pieced together.

You don’t have to do it all this year. You just have to know what comes first.

If you’re wondering where to start, we’d love to help. Feel free to message me and we can set up a 15 min discovery call!
