What do you mean soy sauce isn't vegan? Ingredients water, soybeans, wheat, salt.
The Fee Foam cocktail foam is legitimately much less hassle than egg whites. I'm vegan so I don't know if it tastes better (both are bad in large amounts) but I hear that it's caught on at bars.
maybe they were confused with worshestire sauce, fish sauce or oyster sauce or something
OP: you gotta read the ingredients to decide if something is vegan.
well sometimes you can't tell from the ingredients e.g. bone char sugar, cysteine from feathers instead of bacteria or synthetic. But those are edge cases
If you want to be perfect about things like that, then you really, really gotta check the ingredients and not take anyone's word for it. There is no other choice but to learn about all those kinds of things. Gotta go online and read up on less obvious sources of nonveganity. Scrutinize every single item you pick up. Check each brand and each variety/flavor with a given brand. And even if you read the label before you have to re read it now n again in case they change something.
At least now you have a phone you can bring shopping with you to look up anything even slightly questionable. Or take a picture for later research.
It's stuff like this that's the reason why the Vegan Society has the "as far as is practicable and possible" clause in it, especially since sugar and a few other "ambiguous" things are such ubiquitous ingredients. For bone char in sugar specifically, I hear it's a pretty exclusively American issue but even many businesses based in the United States are apparently no longer using sugar that has been refined with bone char. If I buy sugar as a standalone ingredient, I definitely always get organic sugar, though, as that's an instance where you can be a lot more selective and accurate.
I have a pretty good reason for this. A vegan friend of mine made a big deal about soy sauce once, and gave me the bottle of coconut aminos specifically for me to try vegan stuff. I wasn't going to do some "umm.. acktyually" shit on a vegan friend when I myself wasn't vegan, so I've just been taking her word for it for the past few years 😭
Aquafaba is a fantastic substitute for egg whites in cocktails.
You can make a killer whiskey sour with aquafaba, lemon juice (Meyer lemon), nice whiskey, and a dash of aromatic bitters
