A Whiskey Sour is traditionally not vegan, because of the egg whites. However, I’ll show you how to make a vegan whiskey sour recipe using aquafaba!
I’m all about vegan cocktails! Did you know many alcoholic drinks aren’t vegan?
Egg whites are used in a whiskey sour to create a foam and silkiness in a traditional cocktail, and to make a vegan whiskey sour, we’re going to be using aquafaba. It is a fantastic swap for cocktails traditionally made with egg whites – classic drinks like a whiskey sour, pisco sour, Tom & Jerry, and more.
In a cocktail, not only does aquafaba mimic the foam and silkiness of an egg-white but surpasses it. Many bartenders prefer it over egg because of its texture and lack of smell. Unlike egg whites, you don’t have to worry about the risk of foodborne illness that comes from raw eggs!

Making a vegan whiskey sour is simple, add aquafaba to a shaker, shake vigorously. Add cocktail ingredients, shake again, pour, garnish and serve.

This is perfect. Thank you!!
This is a revelation, thank you! I have so missed whisky sours, and now they are back in my life. Also, the tip about freezing aqua faba is priceless – I was saving it in a jar in the fridge when I used chickpeas but never used it up before it went off, now I never have to let it go to waste again!
made this with 2 servings instead of 3 LOL still amazing!
I had all the ingredients for this delicious whiskey sour and thought why not make one this weekend! I haven’t had a whiskey sour in years and definitely tasted like the ones I had before going vegan! Thanks Candice
Yeah, I have to say…I love that your one serving whiskey sour has THREE shots. You are truly a wonderful young lady. 😊❤🍸
