Today is national Whisky sour day, and if that’s not an excuse to pop in for a drink at the Lonsdale then I don’t know what is. Even though National Whisky sour day is probably arbitrarily assigned by some Whisky company, we like to embrace these tenuous holidays whole heartedly.
Some of you might not know what whisky sour is, but we’re here to erase that little bit of ignorance from your head.
Whisky Sour is a drink made with 3 parts Bourbon, 2 parts lemon juice and 1 part sugar syrup - you can put a bit of egg white in it, but then that makes it a Boston Sour. Shaken and served either straight or on ice, and traditionally garnished with half an orange slice and a cherry.
The oldest mention of a Whiskey sour comes from a newspaper published in Wisconsin, USA in 1870. It might be 140 years old, but that doesn’t stop it being just as good as ever.

And for all those wondering, the difference between The Lonsdale’s Whisky Sour and everyone else’s? Alex Palumbo, our Head Barman adds a dash of orange bitter and 5ml or maraschino cherry syrup. Why? Because it ‘makes it more delicious’ – his words. You heard it here first.
