Sour cocktails lead with bright acidity — fresh citrus, usually lemon or lime, balanced by a touch of sweetness over a base spirit. Many are built on the classic sour template, but the taste cuts across families, from crisp shaken drinks to long, fizzy refreshers. They run from classics like the Whiskey Sour, Daiquiri and Margarita to modern variations on the formula.
