The Whiskey Sour is one of the oldest and most beloved classic cocktails, with roots tracing back to the mid-1800s. It first appeared in print in Jerry Thomas’s 1862 Bartender’s Guide, the Whiskey Sour was created to make strong spirits more palatable, especially on long sea voyages, where citrus helped prevent scurvy. Over time, it evolved from a practical drink to a refined classic.
Our Whiskey Sour Kits take this historic cocktail to a new level.
- Brown Sugar Whiskey Sour: Swapping traditional simple syrup for rich brown sugar adds warm notes of caramel and molasses that pair beautifully with bourbon or rye. It creates a deeper, smoother sour with a cozy, almost nostalgic finish.
- Lavender Peach Whiskey Sour: Peach adds natural sweetness, while lavender introduces a soft floral note that enhances, rather than overwhelms, the whiskey. The result is a bright, aromatic sour that feels elevated and unexpected.
Each kit includes two infused syrups, lemon garnish, and an easy-to-follow recipe card with step-by-step instructions to craft bar-quality cocktails at home. Also, listed are the additional ingredients needed. Serves 8.
