About the Whiskey Sour
The Whiskey Sour is one of the most iconic cocktails in the world, originating in the mid-19th century. This drink combines the warm, rich flavor of bourbon with the bright acidity of lemon and the smooth sweetness of simple syrup. Egg white is often added for a silky texture and a beautiful foam topping. With its simple yet refined profile, the Whiskey Sour has stood the test of time as a favorite for both casual and sophisticated occasions.
A few drops of Angostura bitters on the foam add a hint of spice and a decorative touch, making it not just a cocktail but a true classic experience.
