Sour CocktailSummary
DescriptionSours are one of the late 19th century foundational cocktails from which hundreds of others have been developed. The basic form of a sour is a spirit combined with sugar or sweet liqueur and a citrus juice instead of the bitters employed in the Basic Cocktail. The basic sours are named simply for their base spirit: whiskey sour, gin sour, rum sour, et cetera. From this sturdy base, great heights of sophistication are possible. It's important to master the foundation first. Ingredients
InstructionsCombine ingredients and shake with ice.

NotesThe Sour Cocktail is almost identical to these old-fashioned and almost forgotten offspring:
To make a Sling Cocktail, serve the sour on the rocks and add a lemon twist.
To make a Daisy Cocktail, add a teaspoon of grenadine and serve with an ice cube in a little mug garnished with fruit.
To make a Collins, add soda and serve in a tall glass garnished with fruit. Tom Collins is made with gin, John Collins with whiskey.
