WHISKEY SOUR



Whiskey Sour image

A whiskey sour is much more balanced than the name suggests. It's actually sweet and tart in equal parts (from simple syrup and lemon juice), and it's arguably one of the most delicious cocktails ever created. The drink, which has been around for centuries, became popular across the United States in the 1800s and early 1900s, in part because it was such a simple formula. Bartenders have tweaked the recipe for decades with different sweeteners, egg whites and other flourishes, but cocktail lovers know that there's nothing better than the classic. Give it a try. -Ariana Phillips Tessier for Food Network Magazine
