February 21, 2023
Winters can be great; spending time with loved ones and seeing old faces you haven’t seen all year. However, winters can also be tough. With the snow and the never-ending colds, we all need a little something extra to get us through and it doesn’t always have to come with the guilt!

This easy cocktail is perfectly balanced between sweet and sour with a silky-smooth texture. It’s one of my favorite sugar-free whiskey drinks of all time – the low-carb whiskey sour.
Ingredients

- 1 egg white
- 1 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1-2 Stevia drops
