How to prepare a Whiskey Sour, the famous southern cocktail. The whiskey sour has its origin in the Peruvian port of Iquique, before the historic naval combat of 1879. The name and preparation was the invention of the Englishman Eliot Stubb. It is a famous cocktail that contains bourbon whiskey, lime juice, white sugar and, optionally, egg white and Angostura. Elliot dreamed that one day he would set up his own bar while working as a butler on a ship. One hot day the ship docked in the port of Iquique and Stubb, when he went out on deck and admired the place where he was, he decided that it would be there where he would carry out his great dream. The steward decided to settle in the vicinity of the passenger dock. He was looking for a drink that was refreshing, sweet and that everyone would like. From now on, Elliot said, “this will be my go-to shot,” thus creating one of the most famous cocktails in the world.
