brandy sour

Lemon brandy cocktail

A brandy sour is a cocktail made with brandy, lemon juice, and sugar, typically served over ice.

The drink is particularly associated with Cyprus, where it functions as an unofficial national cocktail: We ordered brandy sours at a café in Limassol.

Like other sours, the balance of spirit and citrus defines the drink.
