The Whiskey Sour is probably the most famous of the sour family, and can be made with whatever your favourite Whisk(e)y is.
First recorded in print in 1862, although it would have been around many years before that, as the Whiskey Sour in its most basic form is simply an evolution of Punch, the original mixed drink.

The concept of the ‘Sour’ at its core; spirit, sugar and citrus, is the formula for many of the world’s greatest cocktails such as the Daiquiri and Margarita. Finding the perfect balance of tart and sweet in a ‘Sour’ allows the flavours of your favourite whisk(e)y to shine in a longer format recipe.
The common inclusion of egg white (or aquafaba) and bitters these days, adds mouthfeel and a little more complexity to the drink. However, if you want to stick to just the three core ingredients, that will still make a fine drink if perfectly balanced.
