Vegans rejoice! You can still enjoy the classic whisky sour without worrying about egg white in your drink. We’ve used aquafaba (chickpea brine) in this vegan version of whisky sour. Aquafaba is the perfect substitute for eggs white, as it foams up similarly. If you’re going to be using chickpeas in any dish, use the leftover brine to make cocktails that require egg whites. Cruelty-free and sustainable to boot! Aquafaba is the way to go to enjoy cocktails (with egg whites) for vegans, those with egg allergies, or those who aren’t comfortable drinking aerated egg whites. Use it as you would egg whites—dry shake first then add ice before shaking again, sip, and enjoy. The best part is it doesn’t have any discernible taste, so you can’t even tell the difference.
