How to Celebrate Sourest Day
Sourest Day is best celebrated by indulging in all your favorite sour treats, and maybe, just for humors sake, to put on the sourest attitude you can imagine.
Know someone who has a tendency to be a Debbie-downer and have a seriously bad attitude? Give them a sour food gift-basket to show that not everyone thinks they need to change.
There are plenty of other ways that you can celebrate Sourest Day. One of our favorite things to do is enjoy a whiskey sour. If you have never had this cocktail before and you are a fan of sour flavors, you are in for a big treat.
You will need lemon zest, ice, egg white, Angostura bitters, sugar syrup, lemon juice, and bourbon for this cocktail.
You may think that it is weird to include egg whites in a drink, but we promise that it does not taste like an egg! Rather, this ingredient is added in order to give the cocktail a silky texture, which is delicious, we promise!
There are plenty of other sour recipes that you can indulge in on this date. Of course, you know all about the sour sweets that you can find in stores today. However, you can also carry the theme on to your dinner as well.
How about some Sweet and Sour Chicken? This classic Chinese dish is one of the most popular around the world for those who are fans of Asian cuisine. Of course, you can make Sweet and Sour with other meats, prawns, or you could do a meat-free version. It is the sauce that really matters.
If you’re looking for a short-cut, you can use ketchup, malt vinegar, garlic cloves, and dark muscovado to create it.
A lot of people also incorporate pineapple, red peppers, and onions as well. Why not invite some loved ones around and you can enjoy a dinner party, with whiskey sours on hand as well? It is the perfect excuse to get everyone together and show off your great cooking skills.
If you do go down this route, try to serve your guests with a smile on your face, rather than being a sourpuss!
