A question people always ask me is "Where should I start if I'm interested in mixology" or "What's a good drink for someone who's not in love with "spirit forwards" drinks?" and I think the best answer is actually a sour drink, really any of them. Yes- from a historic perspective an Old Fashioned is slightly more foundational, but honestly that's something you do kind of need to learn to love- a whiskey sour isn't like that. Additionally, sours have been around nearly as long as the most historic and roots basic of cocktails and they really show off the transformative power of drink mixing. With all of these you'll put ingredients together and get something our of your shaker that is more than the sum of its parts, the perfect little piece of mixology magic to get you to fall in love with mixing drinks. And most importantly, really none of these are terrifically complicated, you can easily master one of these drinks without having ever touched a shaker before. I put this list together specifically to try and include every base spirit, so depending on your taste there's should be something here for everyone.
