The Whiskey Sour is a classic cocktail with its origins in the first half of the 19th century in the United States. It became popular as a refreshing and simple drink, ideal for softening the strong flavor of whiskey with the acidity of lemon and the sweetness of sugar. In several Latin American countries, this beverage is known by similar names, although it is sometimes adapted with local ingredients. For example, in Mexico and Argentina it is also enjoyed under the name "Whiskey Sour," while in other places it may have variations in its name or preparation to suit the regional palate.
This cocktail has been a favorite in bars and gatherings for its balance of sour, sweet, and alcoholic notes, which makes it accessible to many palates. Its versatility has led to the creation of different versions, among them the "Whiskey Sour II," a variant that maintains the tradition but with a special touch in its preparation.
