📜 History

Created by Dale DeGroff at the Rainbow Room in New York City in the early 1990s. DeGroff invented this gin sour variation on the fly when a customer asked for something more interesting than a Gin and Tonic. Adding Angostura bitters to a simple sour template transforms the drink entirely.
