The Scotch Sour is a variation of the classic Whisky Sour, substituting Scotch whisky for bourbon or rye. The sour cocktail family dates back to the mid-19th century, with the basic formula of spirit, citrus, and sugar creating a perfectly balanced drink. Using Scotch adds smoky, complex notes that complement the bright citrus beautifully.
