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

If it's not made from scratch, it ain't a Whiskey Sour. For a cleaner, classier looking drink, strain the lemon juice to remove seeds and pulp.

SPRING HILL RANCH'S CLASSIC WHISKEY SOUR



Spring Hill Ranch's Classic Whiskey Sour image

Making its first appearance in the first published cocktail book, Jerry Thomas' The Bon Vivant's Companion or How to Mix Drinks, The sour evolved from the practice of adding lime juice to rum rations to prevent scurvy among sailors in the British Navy in the 1700s. At its most simple, the modern whiskey sour is simply whiskey, lemon or lime juice (or a combination of the two) and sugar. While there are a number of embellishments modern bartenders might add, the classic whiskey sour remains an iconic cocktail and one worth celebrating today
