For a vegan option, replace the egg white with 1 ounce of aquafaba (chickpea brine). Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your preference, depending on the sweetness of your whiskey and the tartness of your lemons. Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor. Experiment with different whiskeys to find your favorite combination. Bourbon offers a sweeter profile, while Rye provides a spicier kick.
