Master The Classics: New York Sour

I'm not going to go through the entire Whiskey Sour history here because it would just be a repeat of that episode which we published recently. It does bear mentioning though that although many bars do their whiskey sour with egg whites these days, what they're actually making is a Boston Sour. Here's how it breaks down; When Whiskey Sours emerged in the 1860's or thereabouts, they were done over crushed ice, then around the 1890's the ice was extracted and the method of making a fizz with egg whites were added. That drink was called a Boston sour. A about the same time a little dash of Claret (Bordeaux style red wine) was added to the Boston Sour to create the New York Sour. Make sense? The Whiskey Sour was one of the very first cocktail to capture the people's imagination so completely that it spawned a whole bunch of variations. In it's day, it was considered an important part of American life. I'm glad to have gotten around to this drink finally and I hope you guys enjoy it! Cheers!
