Whiskey Sour: let's start from the origins.

The whiskey cocktail par excellence is the Whiskey Sour. A simple but versatile recipe, suitable for various tasting opportunities. A classic cocktail, with a long and fascinating history. The enveloping Bourbon Bulleit, in this cocktail, binds to the bio citric acid, which gives the drink the right degree of acidity, leaving it clear and crystalline, in absolute consistency with the modern techniques of mixology; and liquid sugar of authentic quality made in Italy.

Like any sour, it is characterized by being a simple and essential cocktail. Sour In fact, it indicates a cocktail composed "simply" by a distillate mixed with sugar and lemon. The idea was born between 1600 and 1800, when Bucanieri and Medici agreed that to combine a distillate sugar and lemon was almost a long -lived elixir, suitable for making the men of a crew over the long navigation periods.

Old Fashioned It is expertly mixed "in the old way" as the name and its secret tells us is the dosing between bitter and sweet, between the strong flavor of alcohol squeezed by cereals and the cold frozen water rock.
