About the Forbidden Sour
The Forbidden Sour is a modern take on the classic Whiskey Sour, created by renowned bartender Eben Freeman. This cocktail enhances the traditional formula of bourbon, lemon juice, and simple syrup with the addition of Pama pomegranate liqueur, giving it a vibrant color and a sweet-tart balance.
Inspired by the legend of the pomegranate as the true 'forbidden fruit,' this drink is a perfect introduction to whiskey-based cocktails for those who enjoy bright, refreshing flavors. Served over ice in a Rocks Glass, it's a simple yet sophisticated choice for any occasion.
