The Gin Sour is one of the foundational cocktails, built on the classic combination of spirit, citrus, and sugar. It has been around for well over a century and remains one of the most adaptable drinks.
With gin, lemon, and sugar, it offers a perfect balance of sharp and sweet. Adding egg white gives it a smooth texture, but it works just as well without. It is a drink that shows how much can be done with very little.
