The history of cocktails: Whiskey Sour

Whisky sour is thought to have been created by the Englishman Elliott Stubb in Peru. In 1872, he landed in the port of Iquique (part of Peru at the time) and opened a bar. Here, he experimented with different aperitifs, eventually mixing the native ‘limon de pica’ with whisky and sugar, creating a perfect mix between Anglo-Saxon style and the South American fruit. In actual fact, this cocktail was already mentioned in Jerry Thomas’s famous book ‘How to Mix Drinks: The Bon-vivant's Companion’ (1862) albeit with a slightly different recipe. Despite its steel soul, whiskey sour is an embracing, seductive cocktail with a clear, precise flavour, with the caramelised, smoky aromas of bourbon refreshed by the aromatic charge of the lemon.
