Whiskey Sour

A Whiskey Sour is a classic cocktail made primarily with whiskey, lemon juice, and sugar. Its origins date back to the 19th century, making it a staple in bars. The drink typically features a balanced mix of sweet and tart flavors, resulting from the whiskey's warmth and the acidity of the lemon juice. It is often served over ice and can be garnished with a cherry or lemon slice. Some variations include adding a splash of soda water or egg white for a frothy texture. The Whiskey Sour is appreciated for its simplicity and refreshing taste.
