The Manliest of Sours: Scorpion Venom

My husband created this cocktail and named it, which I think is pretty obvious. It’s a bit like a boulevardier meets a bourbon sour. This drink is big and bold with a simple construction, much like my husband. Just kidding he’s very complicated and mysterious…
​
This cocktail can easily be enjoyed with or without the egg white. By replacing the sweet vermouth in a classic Boulevardier with citrus the drink has a brighter flavor, and makes it feel much more summery. This drink benefits from being thoroughly diluted while shaking to mellow out the lime juice.

Scorpion Venom
1 oz. Elijah Craig Bourbon
1 oz. Campari
1 oz. lime juice
Egg white (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice, shake until chilled and diluted. Strain out ice and continue to dry shake for 90 seconds, strain into a low ball glass.

Cheers!
