IBA Classic Alcoholic ContemporaryClassic

Whiskey Sourは世界で最も長く愛され広く知られているカクテルの一つで、ブレンデッドウイスキー、フレッシュレモンジュース、粉砂糖を氷の上に注ぎ、チェリーとレモンで飾る。IBA Unforgettableとして、バーテンディングの基本カクテルテンプレートの一つであるサワーファミリー—スピリット・シトラス・甘味料のカクテル群—の決定版を体現している。ウイスキーの温かみ、シトラスの酸味、穏やかな甘みのバランスが、このドリンクをカクテル文化に永久に定着させた。

History & Origins

Whiskey Sours appeared in Jerry Thomas's 1862 'How to Mix Drinks', making them among the earliest documented American cocktails. The sour template Thomas described — spirit, lemon, sugar — became the foundation of modern mixology's sour category and directly influenced drinks from the Daiquiri to the Margarita. The IBA includes it among its Unforgettables, and it consistently ranks among the most ordered cocktails globally. Adding egg white for a silky foam layer became a popular refinement in the 20th century.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Lemon zest and whiskey grain character, with a subtle sweetness from the powdered sugar. Palate: Tart and citrusy from the lemon juice, with blended whiskey's grain complexity and mild spice providing structure; the sweetener ties the components together into a balanced, pleasing whole. Finish: Refreshing and moderately dry with lingering lemon and whiskey warmth.

Pro Tip

For the best Whiskey Sour, add an egg white and dry-shake before adding ice — the foam transforms it from a good drink into a great one.
