1 ounce bourbon
1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ ounce simple syrup optional for a sweeter drink
½ egg white *optional for a super foamy, creamy top
Maraschino cherries for garnish
orange slice/rind for garnish

Add the rest of the ingredients and shake well for another 10 seconds.
Strain into a whiskey glass with ice ball or larger ice cubes.
Garnish with Maraschino cherries and orange slice or twist.

Notes

Tips*

If you can afford them, use Luxardo cherries. They're the REAL Maraschino cherries and what will make this cocktail extra sophisticated.

Adding the egg white does not taste like anything. Instead, it gives the drink a foamy, rich, creamy top!

Using an ice ball or larger ice cubes will slow down the dilution of your cocktail.
