Today it's Whiskey Sour Day!
The whiskey sour is made with whiskey (often bourbon), lemon juice, sugar, and optionally, a dash of egg white. It is shaken and served either straight up or over ice.
The traditional garnish is half an orange slice and a maraschino cherry.
Its first mention goes back to 1870, however the ancient Egyptians had a very similar drink (without the egg white) with higher dose of lemon and sugar. It's first mention goes back to 1534 BC.
