Very tasty, but a little too sweet, though that may be because of rum choices, or I made my simple too sweet as it was a quick version. Still, I would make it again.

Great cocktail. Nice flavours from the rum and the citrus adds a refreshing spark. Great balance to the cocktail.

Nose is very lemon forward. Citrus sourness upfront that finishes very mildly sweet (Nicely balanced). A fairly dry drink. It was quite enjoyable

What’s the reasoning behind egg whites in cocktails? Personally I can’t stand the smell and don’t think a cocktail needs a head on it, I just make my sours without. Just wondering how it came to be a thing?

Egg white adds smoothing rounding mouthfeel to cocktails, particularly sours.

Skip this - amaretto sour is so much better (and make it with bourbon + amaretto)

A rye whiskey and maple syrup sour served short and straight-up. You'd perhaps have expected this cocktail to be more drawn out.
