Proof that simplicity is genius, the Whiskey Sour has been quenching thirsts since the 1860s. This cocktail is all about balance—bold whiskey, fresh lemon juice, and a touch of sugar come together for a smooth, tangy, and slightly sweet sip. Add an optional egg white for a rich, velvety texture, and you’ve got a drink that’s as timeless as it is satisfying. Whether you’re sipping one on a front porch or a dimly lit bar, the Whiskey Sour always hits the right note.
