SPRING HILL RANCH'S CLASSIC WHISKEY SOUR

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

It is said that the Manhattan cocktail was invented by Dr. Ian Marshall at a banquet for Lady Randolph Churchill held at The Manhattan club in New York city. During the 1940's and 1950's, one often served only martinis and Manhattans at one's cocktail parties.
