National Whiskey Sour Day
August 25, 2015
AUGUST 25, 2015 is National Whiskey Sour Day.
If you were like us at The Drink, this was probably one of the first drinks you illegally ordered, thinking it made you cool and edgy.
The whiskey sour is a mixed drink containing whiskey (often Bourbon), lemon juice, sugar, and optionally, a dash of egg white. It is shaken and served either straight up or over ice. The traditional garnish is half an orange slice and a maraschino cherry.
Three months after college and you probably were tired of throwing this concoction up on your bathroom floor and was ready to move on to some of its more sophisticated variations like the Boston Sour or the Ward 8.
