New York Sour
The Traditional sour is composed of spirit, citrus and sugar (and sometimes egg white) and accounts for many of the best-known cocktails. Cocktail historians believe it originated in Chicago during the 1870s or 1880s. However, it operated under other names during this time, including the Continental Sour, Southern Whiskey Sour, the Chicago Sour and even the Claret Snap. It later gained fame as the New York Sour in Manhattan. Try it out and let us know what you think.
