Sour

Gin Sour는 진, 신선한 레몬 주스, 설탕을 얼음과 함께 셰이킹해 사워 글라스에 담고 오렌지 슬라이스와 마라스키노 체리로 장식하는 기본 칵테일입니다. 스피릿, 시트러스, 감미료라는 클래식 Sour 템플릿의 진 버전으로, 가장 초기적이고 보편적인 칵테일 공식입니다. 새콤달콤하고 식물성 향의 균형이 오랜 인기를 유지합니다.

History & Origins

The Sour category is one of the oldest and most foundational cocktail families, with recipes documented in American bartending guides from the mid-19th century. Jerry Thomas included gin sour variants in his 1862 'Bar-Tender's Guide,' establishing the formula. The gin sour's close relationship to the Gimlet and the Gin Daisy reflects the versatility of the core sour template.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: fresh lemon citrus and juniper-forward gin botanicals with a slight sweetness from the superfine sugar. Palate: tart and bright with lemon acidity at the forefront, the gin's botanical complexity providing herbal depth, and the sugar rounding the acidity into a satisfying sweet-sour balance. Finish: dry, citrusy, and botanical with a clean, refreshing fade.

Pro Tip

Use superfine sugar as specified rather than simple syrup for a slightly different texture, and shake vigorously for at least 15 seconds to fully integrate and chill all ingredients.
