History

Continental Sour is a refined twist on the classic Whiskey Sour, enhanced by the addition of port wine that adds depth and a subtle fruity sweetness. Originating from Berlin, this cocktail balances bright citrus, smooth bourbon, and silky egg white, creating an elegant, well-rounded drink for contemplative sipping.
