Author Notes

Made with fresh juice and aquafaba (in lieu of traditional egg white), this whiskey sour riff is portable, sippable, and a crowd favorite for seasonal festivities. It can be made individually to fit in a Stanley GO Everyday Tumbler or take a batch on the go in the Classic Stay Chill Pitcher. —Emily Ziemski
