Let’s sip on the season’s most refreshing cocktail with this tequila sour! Featuring a creamy, frothy topping and bright, fresh lemon juice, this ultra smooth tequila cocktail makes for a fun twist on the popular margarita, and it only takes a few minutes and handful of ingredients to whip up. After just one sip, you’ll have a new favorite recipe for enjoying tequila.
Add the egg white, tequila, agave nectar, lemon juice and bitters to a cocktail shaker with no ice. Put on the top and shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
Remove the top and now add a handful of ice. Place the top back on and shake vigorously for at least a minute to build up the frothy topping.
Strain into a chilled sour, coupe or martini glass. Garnish with a lemon twist if desired. Enjoy!

Notes
If you don't have añejo tequila, reposado is my preferred substitute as opposed to blanco tequila.
To chill your serving glass, place it in the freezer 30 minutes before serving. Alternatively, you can fill the glass with cold water and ice as you mix the cocktail. Dump the water and ice after mixing, and you’ll have a chilled glass.
If you can't find orange bitters, substitute with angostura bitters.
To properly agitate our egg whites, make sure you shake using two hands to get enough force behind the shake.
