Bourbon (or Rye), fresh citrus, sugar, optional egg white |
||
| Description |
The Whiskey Sour is one of the most perfectly balanced cocktails ever created—bright, refreshing, and built to highlight the character of great American whiskey. By combining fresh lemon juice, subtle sweetness, and the warmth of bourbon or rye, it delivers a drink that is both approachable and endlessly satisfying. When finished with egg white, it gains a silky texture and elegant foam that elevates this classic into something truly special. |
||
| History |
The Whiskey Sour belongs to the great “sour” family of cocktails, a style that dates back to the mid-19th century and was popularised as a way to make spirits more palatable, and even medicinal on long sea voyages. Sailors combined citrus (to prevent scurvy), sugar, and spirits, laying the groundwork for what would become a global cocktail category. The first recorded mention of the Whiskey Sour appears in Jerry Thomas’ 1862 The Bartender’s Guide, cementing its place as one of America’s earliest and most enduring whiskey cocktails. |
