A whiskey sour is a mixed drink that contains whiskey (often bourbon), lemon juice, and sugar, traditionally garnished with half an orange and a maraschino cherry. Whiskey sours are shaken before being served straight or over ice.
The Boston sour and the Ward 8 are two alternative whiskey sour alternatives to the traditional whiskey sour. To the dish, the Boston sour adds a dash of egg white. The Ward 8 uses either a Bourbon or rye whiskey base with lemon and orange juices as a base, with grenadine syrup added for sweetness.
In an 1870 Wisconsin newspaper, the first mention of a whiskey sour was in an 1870 Wisconsin newspaper.
