The Brandy Sour cocktail is famous across the world, a beloved evening cocktail with royal origins!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Brandy Sour dates back to the early fifties where King Farouk of Egypt, a cocktail enthusiast, would travel the world chasing the next best flavor. In his travels he stopped off on the island of Cyprus and fell in love, not just with the island but with the Cypriot brandy it produced as well.<\/p>\n

Since sporting a drink as a royal was frowned upon, the king tasked the bartenders of a famous Troodos hotel to create an innocent looking iced tea style drink, so it wouldn\u2019t be obvious he was enjoying an alcoholic beverage.<\/p>\n

Today the Brandy Sour is a stable on the menu at all top cocktail bars across the globe. \u00a0The addition of Angostura\u00ae aromatic bitters to the recipe added complexity to the taste and balanced the acidity of the citrus, elevating the cocktail to another level.<\/p>\n
