[edit] A fresh start

Despite the fact that a lot of people seem to feel this drink is "boring", I have discovered that it is a highly notable cocktail with a long, respectable history. The old, original article was blanked into a redirect (which I fully supported), because it was essentially a one-paragraph recipe. While a fair amount of the new article is also recipe-based, I think it will serve well as the starting point for a real article. I slanted it toward the entire family of drinks called "sours", and it might be better to eventually rename this article to that title, and simply highlight the Whiskey Sour as one member of that family. At least that's the way I'm kind of leaning right now. I will wait a while and see how, and if, anyone else cares to improve this article. --Willscrlt 08:48, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] == Reorg notes on the Sour page==

The info on the page was good, but not all of it was relevant. For example, the fact that many other classic cocktails (e.g., juleps, flips) were in Thomas was mentioned, even though it's not necessarily relevant to the fact that Sours are in there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Philvarner (talk • contribs) 07:59, 8 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] White lady Infobox is wrong

I'm not sure how to fix it without screwing up the box, but a White lady is not composed of Brandy. it even says so in the article. it is a Gin based drink.Lisapollison 03:28, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
