THE HISTORY AND THE VARIATIONS
VARIATIONS OF WHISKEY SOUR
There are a wealth of options if you want to twist your Whiskey Sour. Maybe you have a reason to avoid using egg whites? Then you just go for a Boston Sour, which consists only of Bourbon Whiskey, lemon juice, and sugar syrup.
Additionally, you can throw yourself over a Gin Sour and New York Sour. Here you add 1-2 cl of red wine, which gives the drink a little more depth. Of course, it is also obvious to replace Bourbon with another whiskey or spirits.
WHISKEY SOUR ORIGINS
Whiskey Sour originates from America, where it got its title from Jerry Thomas in 1862. However, it was mixed long before by the British sailors, who were not always guaranteed clean drinking water. When thirst arose, it was obvious to use the remedies available: lime, lemon, sugar, and whiskey.
The cocktail also had another benefit for the sailors. The long trips on the water always involved illness, but they tried diligently to prevent the ills with Whiskey Sour.
