WILL'S COCKTAIL CORNER:
WHISKEY SOUR Recipe & Photo By: Will Taylor (Nashville, TN)
Though the seasons change, classic cocktails remain. The Whiskey Sour is less known than its cousins the Old Fashioned and the Manhattan, but it's not any less delicious. Though the first official record of a whiskey sour recipe wasn't until 1862 in Jerry Thomas' The Bartender's Guide, sours had been around for ages. They had been used by sailors to combat scurvy, malnutrition, and seasickness before becoming a staple for mixologists everywhere.
