Whiskey Sour는 세계에서 가장 오래되고 널리 알려진 칵테일 중 하나로, 블렌디드 위스키, 신선한 레몬 주스, 파우더 슈가를 얼음 위에 담고 체리와 레몬으로 장식한다. IBA Unforgettable 칵테일로, 바텐딩의 기초 칵테일 템플릿 중 하나인 사워 패밀리—스피릿, 시트러스, 감미료 조합—의 전형적인 대표작이다. 위스키의 따뜻한 풍미, 시트러스의 신맛, 은은한 단맛의 균형이 이 칵테일을 칵테일 문화에 영구히 자리잡게 했다.

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.
