A whiskey sour is a type of mixed drink that contains whiskey, lemon juice and sugar.
Whiskey sours are also traditionally garnished with a cherry or sometimes a lemon wedge.
Whiskey sours are basically a blend of sour, bitter and sweet flavors and can be made as a shot or mixed drink.
Either choice can be a base spirit, sweetener or citrus juice.
Originally, whiskey sours were invented to make the harsh taste of whiskey more palatable and to cover up a lot of the whiskey flavor.
As the strong lemon in the whiskey sour masked the bad whiskey taste, it would also mask or muffle the nuances of good whiskey if you use good whiskey.
