Described as ‘a species of fortified lemonade in concentrated form’ by Esquire’s 1945 Handbook for Hosts, the whisky sour dates back to the mid-19th century. Originally crafted with bourbon, lemon juice and simple syrup, this classic cocktail has inspired numerous variations.
For our whisky sour we’ve chosen Hibiki Japanese Harmony blended whisky for our base.

- 50ml whisky
