Gin Sour
The Gin Sour might be the oldest entry in the sour family of cocktails. It’s a wonderfully flexible template that went on to birth an entire taxonomy of tart, tasty tipples.
Whenever we lay out hands on a fancy new bottle of gin, we mix up a Gin Sour with it. The lemon and simple syrup are a beautiful base for gin’s botanical flavors, and it’s always an adventure to try it with an interesting new gin. We love it with the rose flavors of Hendrick’s, or the woody scent of a barrel-aged gin.

- 2 parts Gin or Aged gin or Botanical gin or Old Tom gin
- ¾ part Lemon juice
- ¾ part Simple syrup or Lemon syrup or Oleo saccharum
