About this drink
The sour — spirit, citrus, sugar — is one of the oldest cocktail families: American bar books carried brandy and gin versions by 1862, and the whiskey sour reached print in the 1870s. It has served ever since as the yardstick for balance: a great many classics are variations on the same three parts.
