Description
Gin Sour is an excellent sour-cocktail, characterised by faintly sour taste notes and rich gin flavours. It's a strong drink with 22 % Vol. of alcohol, which is mainly drunken by men.
Gin sour is typically served in tumbler glasses with a cocktail-cherry. The colour is dulled from the lemon juice but it still brings the cherry to bear.

Decoration / Serving
There are many good options to present Gin-Sour.
Tumbler glasses are most appropriate for Gin-Sour. Martini glasses or cocktail saucers are eye-catching alternatives. A cocktail cherry belongs into the glass. Further decorations of lemon or orange are quite popular but it's not a requirement.
A good presentation and an adequate environment are as important as the taste of cocktails. Use our decoration tool to test different decorations and glasses.
