The tequila sour recipe has changed over time, and numerous iterations of the drink have appeared.
Tequila, lemon or lime juice, simple syrup, and occasionally egg whites are included in the ingredients for the famous drink known as the “tequila sour,” which is typically drunk straight up or on the rocks using your choice of tequila.
History of the Tequila Sour
The tequila sour cocktail is thought to have started in the 19th century in the Mexican city of Cuernavaca, although its beginnings are not well known.
The first recorded tequila sour recipe can be found in David A. Embury’s 1948 book “The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks.” Tequila, lemon juice, and powdered sugar are shaken with ice in this recipe to create the tequila sour, which is then strained and served in a cold glass.
