COUNTRY WHISKEY SOUR

Steps:

• Add the whiskey, lemon juice, corn juice, agave syrup and egg white to a cocktail shaker without ice. Shake for 20 seconds to emulsify, then add ice and shake again for another 20 seconds to chill.
• Strain into a pre-chilled wine glass or mug, then 'cure' the foam by twisting (then discarding) the lemon zest over the top of the drink.
• Shave a super-thin slice of corn from the cob. Garnish the drink with the corn slice and a drizzle of bitters for a classy, colorful presentation, or sprinkle loose kernels and bitters on top for a country-chowder effect.

• Shake the whiskey, lemon juice, simple syrup and pasteurized egg white in a shaker, then add ice and shake again. Strain into an ice-filled glass. Add a lemon peel and cherry.

WHISKEY SOUR MOCKTAIL

Steps:

• First, make the infusion. Tip the tea leaves into a heatproof teapot or jug and pour over 150ml boiled water from the kettle. Immediately strain through a fine mesh sieve into a second heatproof jug, discarding the tea leaves, so the tea doesn't become too strong. Add the vanilla and leave to cool.
• Pour 50ml of the cooled tea infusion into a cocktail shaker, then add the lemon juice, egg white, sugar syrup and a handful of ice. Shake until the outside of the shaker feels very cold.
• Strain the mocktail into an ice-filled tumbler, then garnish with a slice of lemon and a cocktail cherry to serve.
