Gin sour

The Gin Sour is a traditional cocktail blend that preceded the Prohibition in the United States. This is a simple combination of gin, lemon juice, and sugar. Adding carbonated water to this turns it into gin fizz.

It was popular during the 1940s, and Kevin Starr put it in "a variety of beverages (gin tart, sour whiskey, Gin Rickey, Tom Collins, Pink Women, Old Fashioned) that now look bits of period, evocative of another era." class = "reference plainlinks nourlexpansion" id = "ref_starr"> [1]

White Lady

White Lady (also known as Delilah , or Chelsea Side-car ) is basically a sidecar made with gin instead of brandy. What makes it different from simple gin acids is the transition of sugar for three seconds. Cocktails sometimes also include additives, such as egg whites, sugar, or cream.

The classic herb is most often served in Martini cocktail glasses. When egg white is added, a champagne coupe is preferred; fine foam attaches more fun to the curved glass.

It's debatable who initially found the drink. There are at least two different opinions: first made by Harry MacElhone in 1919 at Ciro's Club in London. He initially used crÃÆ'¨me de menthe, but replaced it with a gin at the Harry New York Bar in Paris in 1929.

But The Savoy's Harry Craddock also claims White Lady (gin, Cointreau, fresh lemon juice). The recipe appears in his book Savoy Cocktail Book , published in 1930. Joe Gilmore, former Head of Barman at The Savoy, says this is one of Laurel's and Hardy's favorite beverages.

In John Le Carrà © 1965 The Looking Glass War, British spy and main protagonist Fred Leiser's favorite drink is the White Lady, and he makes several attempts to get another agent to try a cocktail.

In the mystery novel Dorothy Sayers Have His Sacks Mr. Peter has a White Lady when he hears about "Lady" Miss Harriet Vane is in trouble again.

Pisco sour

The classical recipe Pisco Sour contains [pisco] brandy (usually a wine brandy not PerÃÆ'º aged), fresh lime juice, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, egg whites and bitter. It is whipped, filtered, and served directly in a cocktail glass then garnished with bitter (cinnamon can be used). The addition of egg whites creates a foamy head when shaken before serving. While pisco sour is flavored with lime lock by default, pisco is combined with other fruits to create mango acids, maracuya (passion fruit) acid, lucuma acid and so on. Peru has a National Pisco Sour Day (which takes place over the weekend) in mid-February, and Chile has Pisco Day in mid-May.

Whiskey sour

The whiskey sour is a mixed drink containing bourbon whiskey, lemon juice, sugar, and optionally a little egg whites to make it a Boston Sour. It is whipped and served either straight ice or more. The traditional garnish was half a slice of orange and a maraschino cherry.

The prominent variant of whiskey sour is Ward 8, which is often based on bourbon or rye whiskey, lemon and orange juice, and grenadine syrup as a sweetener. Egg whites sometimes used in other whiskey are generally not included in this variation.
