The Louma Sour is one of our signature cocktails, designed to be as memorable at home as it is when enjoyed with us in Dorset. Bright, balanced and beautifully layered, it is the perfect companion to long summer afternoons and easy evenings. A simple way to bring a touch of Louma to your own space.
The Louma Sour
A beautifully balanced cocktail with a silky finish and a delicate red wine float
Ingredients
- 50 ml bourbon whiskey
- 25 ml fresh lemon juice
- 25 ml sugar syrup
- 5 to 6 drops of egg white
- 10 to 15 ml red wine
Method
- Add the bourbon, lemon juice, sugar syrup and egg white to a shaker with ice.
- Shake well until nicely chilled.
- Strain out the ice, then shake again without ice for about 20 seconds. This step creates a smooth, velvety foam.
- Pour over fresh ice into a rocks glass.
- Slowly float the red wine on top by pouring it gently over the back of a spoon.
To Serve
Enjoy immediately while the layers are still beautifully defined. The result is rich, refreshing, and slightly dramatic, perfect for an at-home twist on a Louma signature.
