The Cocktails Story
The Gin Sour has a rich history that dates back to the very origins of cocktail making. While its exact beginnings remain a mystery, it’s widely regarded as one of the earliest examples of mixology. The first recorded recipe came from legendary bartender Jerry Thomas, but its roots may lie with Royal Navy sailors. In their quest to stay healthy at sea, they mixed spirits with citrus to ward off scurvy, adding sugar and water for balance. Today, the Gin Sour carries this legacy of simplicity and ingenuity—try it and see if it stirs your sense of adventure.
