Sour Variation
The contemporary sour cocktail is a short, sharp, punch type drink consisting the spirit, a sour and a half part sweet.
Typically made with any strong liquor; sours taste very much of their base liquor; a short, sharp, punch type drink consisting of 2 parts spirit, 1 part sour (lemon or lime juice) and half part of sweet (syrup, liqueur, sugar). Bitters and egg white are optional but add to the allure of these cocktails.
Sours are shaken drinks and may be served straight-up or on the rocks.
