The most famous sour cocktails are the Margarita and the Whisky Sour, but the Rum Sour is a great contender.

The combination of rum with zesty citrus is something to look forward to. It's easy to make, easy to switch up (all types of rums are welcome) and easy to enjoy, making it an excellent drink for celebrating life's big, big moments with your favourite people.
