HISTORY OF THE WHISKEY SOUR!

The Whiskey Sour dates back to the mid-19th century and is considered one of the oldest and most iconic cocktails in the world. Its origins can be traced to sailors who mixed citrus juice with spirits like whiskey to prevent scurvy during long voyages. The first formal recipe for the Whiskey Sour appeared in Jerry Thomas’s The Bartender’s Guide in 1862, solidifying its status as a classic. Over the years, the drink has evolved, with variations like the addition of egg white for a creamy texture. Despite these changes, its core—a perfect balance of whiskey, lemon juice, and sugar—remains unchanged, making it a timeless symbol of cocktail culture.
