I find that early recipes for Whisky Sours, and other types of sours, do not 
use eggwhite. Drinks with eggwhite, or eggyolk, are usually prefixed by Silver 
or Golden respectively. 

The eggwhite does create a foam that looks good, but it is not a default in a 
Whisky Sour. Another addition to a Sour is Angostura Bitters. Yes, some people 
say it improves the drink, but is it a default ingredient? No it isn't.

Also a cherry is not a default garnish for a Whisky Sour, but lots of people 
think it is. Personally, a lemon slice is much better.


Cheers!
