History
Wikipedia reports a Peruvian newspaper, El Comercio de lquique credited Elliott Stubb as the creator of the "whiskey sour" in the late 1800's in Chile. However, like many drinks, there are multiple stories about where the simple, but popular drink originated.
An article on overcupbooks.com reports English, Vice Admiral Edward Vernon made the concoction as a water substitute and a way to protect his crew from scurvy, sea sickness and malnutrition. The primary reason he added juice was to prevent his crew from getting intoxicated on straight alcohol. His reported version included juice (lemon or lime) and Gin or Brandy. While Americans changed the alcohol to Whiskey, the concept for the drink may have started with his version.
