Whiskey Sour

Cultural Context

The Whiskey Sour is a classic American cocktail that dates back to the mid-19th century, often enjoyed for its balance of sweet and sour flavors. Traditionally made with whiskey, lemon juice, and sugar, it embodies the spirit of American mixology. Today, it enjoys popularity in bars worldwide, with many variations incorporating egg white for a frothy texture or different types of whiskey for unique flavor profiles.
