Gin Sour
🥃 Serve in: Whiskey Sour Glass
Lemon juice and sugar do the classic sour work here, with orange and a maraschino cherry rounding out the garnish -- gin's version of a formula that shows up across half the cocktail menu in one form or another. Tart, balanced, and unfussy, it's less a destination cocktail and more the foundation everything else in this family gets built on.
