The Whiskey Sour is a classic cocktail with a rich history dating back to the mid-19th century. It is believed to have originated as a naval drink, used to prevent scurvy due to the addition of citrus juice. The cocktail gained popularity in the United States during the Prohibition era and has since become a staple in bars and restaurants worldwide. The traditional recipe calls for whiskey, lemon juice, and simple syrup, shaken with ice and served in a chilled glass. Some variations include the addition of egg white for a frothy texture or a splash of bitters for complexity. Today, the Whiskey Sour can be enjoyed in renowned cocktail bars like The Dead Rabbit in New York City or at historic establishments like The Sazerac Bar in New Orleans. The key to a perfect Whiskey Sour lies in using high-quality whiskey and freshly squeezed citrus juice, ensuring a balanced and refreshing drink with a delightful kick.
