<p>A more modern variation, such as this Feeling Blue, got increasingly popular over time. Sugar was added to balance the flavours, and then the egg white component was added for a creamy finish and crisp foam. There are a few crucial factors to the perfect Feeling Blue for dinners and relaxing after a long day. Shake the egg whites twice to fully emulsify them for a beautiful smooth finish. When egg white drinks sit for too long, they might develop a faint sulphur odour without aromatics. To keep the drink fresher for longer, always serve it with bitters or garnish it with citrus. That's all! &nbsp;Now go get a tall glass of Feeling Blue and beat those blues.</p>


Whether you're new to whisky or a seasoned enthusiast, a Feeling Blue is a refreshing summer drink. Sharp lemon aromas round out the full-bodied whisky in a cocktail light enough to sip without worrying about the buzz getting too strong. The Whiskey Sour, one of the oldest cocktails, is thought to have been invented much earlier, in the 1700s by sailors on navy ships to combat scurvy. It's no surprise that it made it into Jerry Thomas's 1862 cocktail book, The Bartender's Guide. It was a basic recipe with only three ingredients back then: a base alcohol, citrus juice, and water.
