Sour Cocktails

The base mix in all Sour Drinks is, of course, the sour. Sour mix is a sweetened lemon juice.

Sour drinks can be broken down into two categories; Shorts and Talls.

 

  

Short sour cocktails are typically made in a mixing tin, shaken and strained into a chilled glass. The glass is typically a sour glass, cocktail glass or a margarita glass.   

 

Tall sour drinks have added soda water to cut   the tart taste. They are served in a larger glass, usually a Collins, and have a cherry and orange garnish.
