We at Eazy Egg think the Whisky Sour is the crowning glory of the sour family (its relatives include the Margarita, Sidecar, Gimlet, and Daiquiri).
Believed to have been created in the 1860s, it had fallen out of favour by the 80s - the age of power suits and B-52's. In more recent times, it's made a well-deserved comeback.
