July 29-Whiskey Sour

The Whiskey Sour was created in the early 1800s. This cocktail has a very big misunderstanding attached to it. Everyone thinks the original had egg white. The thing is it wasn’t until the 1890s when the New York Sour came out that egg white was added. Until then the sourn was just the citrus, sugar and whiskey. Now is the time I was kind of dreading,. what kind of whiskey do you use? I say either. I know, I know people want an official opinion on cocktaiuls like this that can go either way, especially since I diud have an official opinion on this with the Old Fashioned. The issue is the main whiskey I use is outside of these categories of whiskey.

The whiskey I’m talking about is Michter’s Sour Mash. The best way I can describe it is higher end Jack Daniels. The mash bill of this whiskey is unknown but it tastes like it has a more even ratio of corn and rye witrh notes of barely. This makes it appropriate for anyone who doesn’t know what kind of whiskey they like.
