Do sours need egg white?

No. A sour is built around spirit, citrus and sweetener. Egg white is an optional texture ingredient in some versions, rather than a requirement for every sour.

Put it into practice

The free Home Cocktail Quick Guide uses no egg. Other recipes in the expanded catalogue may include it. It reduces preparation steps and avoids that ingredient for people with egg allergies, but other ingredients still need label checks.
