Swiss Meringue
Combine sugar and egg whites in a bowl, using a hand mixer to beat mixture into soft peaks. Pour into a sous vide bag and cook in an immersion circulating bath set at 120°F for one hour. Pour cooked meringue into a whip cream canister, charge and shake until you feel the foam has been completely emulsified. For extra style points, carefully toast the top with a kitchen blow torch.

Maker’s Sour
The Maker’s Sour is a refined and refreshing blend of sour and sweet. Our Maker’s Sour is inspired by the Whisky Sour, a refreshingly citrus-forward cocktail; 1862’s "The Bartender's Guide" by Jerry Thomas is recognized as one of the first mentions of this classic. This cocktail has had enduring appeal and reaches a new level of refreshing when the sour notes are mixed with Maker’s® sweetness.

With a bold bourbon base and a dramatic float of red wine, the New York Sour is as eye-catching as it is delicious, and it’s easier to make than it looks.
