Mastering the Whisky Sour Canadian-Style
BY REECE SIMS
COCKTAIL STYLING BY SABRINE DHALIWAL
The Whisky Sour strikes the perfect balance between sweet, sour and spirit. First mentioned in Jerry Thomas’ 1862 Bartender’s Guide, this iconic cocktail has become a staple at bars worldwide, for good reason—it’s simple, refreshing and endlessly adaptable.
At the heart of its enduring appeal lies the golden ratio. The original Whisky Sour exemplifies this classic formula—two parts spirit, one part sweet and one part sour—beautifully blending whisky, simple syrup and fresh lemon juice in perfect harmony.
The summer season is the perfect time for creative twists that suit warmer days and relaxed vibes. Whether you’re hosting a backyard gathering or unwinding after a long day, these four adaptations made with Canadian whisky elevate the Whisky Sour from a timeless classic to a seasonal showstopper.
