Flavors
A Gin Sour is a classic cocktail that dates back to the mid-1800s. It has become one of the most popular cocktails in the world, thanks to its unique flavor profile. The primary ingredients in Gin Sour are gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
The first sip of Gin Sour will be sweet and tart from the combination of sugar and lemon juice. Then your taste buds will pick up on juniper notes from the gin.
