Story about Gin Sour

The Gin Sour is a classic cocktail known for its perfect balance of tart and sweet. Its roots go back to the 19th century's America when sour-style drinks became popular. Key ingredients include gin, tangy lemon juice, simple syrup for sweetness, and egg white, which gives it a rich, creamy texture. A piece of lemon and a cherry serve as garnish, adding a touch of fruitiness to the overall experience.

FAQ
Q: What's the difference between a Gin Sour and a Gin Fizz?
A: The main difference between a Gin Sour and a Gin Fizz is the addition of soda water in a Gin Fizz. While both drinks include gin, citrus juice, and sugar, a Gin Fizz is also topped off with carbonated water, giving it a bubbly texture and lighter flavor.

Q:Is there egg in a Gin Sour?
A:Yes, a traditional Gin Sour includes egg white. This ingredient contributes to the drink's unique foamy texture and adds creaminess. However, if you’re looking for a vegan option or are just icked out by the thought of raw eggs, you can use Aquafaba instead.
