whiskey sour
Bourbon with lemon
A whiskey sour is a cocktail made with whiskey, lemon juice, and sugar, typically served over ice.
The sour family of cocktails follows this template—spirit, citrus, sweetener—with variations like the amaretto sour or pisco sour.
Some versions add egg white for a frothy texture: I'll have a whiskey sour, no egg.
