Storia
Questo drink ,come altri storici cocktail, fa parte della famiglia dei Sour (American Drinks) formati essenzialmente da un distillato o un liquore , succo di limone o lime, albume d'uovo (facoltativo) e un dolcificante .
La prima descrizione su questa tipologia di drinks risale alla prima pubblicazione del manuale di Jerry Thomas "How to Mix Drinks" del 1862.
Infatti troveremo un capitolo "FIXES AND SOUR" e gli unici distillati utilizzati in miscelazione con zucchero e limone saranno il Brandy , il Gin o il Rum.
Nulla a riguardo del Whiskey nel capitolo in questione.

Nonostante ciò , nel libro ho potuto notare che gli stessi ingredienti con dosi e utilizzo differente erano già compresi nei drinks del primo capitolo i "Punch". 

Esempio
6. Irish Whiskey Punch.
This is the genuine Irish beverage. It is generally made one-third pure whiskey, two-thirds boiling water, in which the sugar has been dissolve. If lemon punch, the rind is rubbed on the sugar, and a small proportion of juice added before the whiskey is poured in.
8. Scotch Whiskey Punch.
Steep the thin yellow shavings of lemon peel in the whiskey, which should be Glenlivet or Islay, of the best quality; the sugar should be dissolved in boiling water. As it requires genius to make whiskey punch, it would be impertinent to give proportions. (see "Spread Eagle Punch",No.39.)
9. Whiskey Punc.
(Use small bar glass.)
1 wine-glass whiskey (Irish or Scotch).
2       do. boiling water.
Sugar to taste.
Dissolve the sugar well with 1 wine-glass of the water, 
then purr in the whiskey, and add the balance of the water,
sweeten to taste, and put in a small piece of lemon rind,
or a thin slice of lemon.

E se fosse il punto di partenza del "Whiskey Sour" ?

Secondo alcune fonti il creatore del "Whiskey suor" sarebbe un Inglese di nome Eliott Stubb, il quale arrivato presso il porto di Iquique (Cile) con la nave "Sunshine" circa nel 1870 decise di stabilirsi in questa luogo e di aprire un bar,dove sperimentò varie combinazioni di drinks. 

Una , appunto, fu il "Whiskey suor" che ben presto si diffuse sia in America che in Europa.

Tra le varie fonti, la prima testimonianza sul cocktail risalirebbe al 1870 , il cui nome compare in una storia pubblicata su un giornale del Wisconsin.


Ma, da continue ricerche, ho trovato traccia del drink su una vecchia rivista mensile "The Overland Monthly - vol. 2" del 1869. 

Questa rivista che aveva sede in California, inizio a pubblicare nel luglio del 1868 per poi continuare fino alla fine del 1875.
Il cocktail "Whiskey Sour" compare nella storia "Up in the Po-Go-Nip" scritta dal giornalista Americano Albert S. Evans il quale nacque nel New Hampshire.
Albert S. Evans si trasferì in molte località come ad esempio Indiana , Chicago , Texas e in fine in California precisamente in San Francisco dove lavorò per diverse testate giornalistiche della città.
Qui mi sorge un dubbio sapendo che Jerry Thomas aprì un bar all' Occidental Hotel di Montgomery Street : 

"è probabile che Albert S. Evans abbia frequentato il locale di Jerry Thomas il quale forse in molte occasioni abbia proposto e fatto degustare un Whiskey Sour, e il quindi il giornalista abbia avuto idee per il suo racconto"
Un altra coincidenza è senza dubbio il luogo dove sorgeva l'azienda editrice della rivista "The Overland Monthly" .

1869 - From "The Overland Monthly - Vol. 2" 
Pag 274
"The bar-tenders were kept in incessant 
motion in their frantic efforts to supply 
the demand for drinks which poured in 
from every direction. The express 
office was crowded with men writing 
letters, or sending off packages to their 
distant friends. The dance-house was 
filled with half or wholly tipsy miners, 
with a sprinkling of abandoned women, 
whose smiles and favors were as eagerly 
sought for and as jealously observed by 
the unfavored as were ever those of the 
most gifted and virtuous of their sex in 
the abode of wealth and refinement, at 
the East, on a gala night 

In the rear of every bar-room was a 
door bearing a sign inscribed "Club 
Room," through which was heard the 
strains of discordant music and the 
chinking of coin. These club rooms 
were crowded to their utmost capacity, 
and the tables were piled with coin and 
checks, while hundreds of men, who had 
made lucky strikes at finding, working, 
or, more frequently, selling mines, were 
betting away in a single hour what 
might have kept them, and those de- 
pendent on them, for years in comfort, 
or served as the foundation for a colos- 
sal fortune. Every five or ten minutes 
the dealers would pause in their work 
of turning cards and raking down the 
coin to ring a bell, when a bar-tender 
would enter the club room. 

"Gentlemen, what will you take? 
You drink with me, you know!" said 
the smiling dealer in pasteboard and 
other people's hard-earned coin. 

" Whiskey toddy ! whiskey straight ! 
whiskey hot! whiskey sour! whiskey 
and gum !" replied the crowd; the fiery 
liquor was swallowed, and the game 
went on. Bang, bang, bang, bang, 
bang, came from the fandango room. 
The players at the gaming tables re- 
marked that there was fun going on 
there, but were too busy to go and see 
what it was."

Storia
Le prime ed interessanti referenze storiche le abbiamo nel ricettario di Albert Stevens Crockett , "The Waldorf-Astoria Old Bar Book" del 1934; un indicazione che ci descrive in onore di chi fu creato il cocktail in questione.

"It may have been named after the celebrated Scotsman.
Changes are, however, that it was christened in honor of a cigar salesman, who "bought" in the Old Bar".

Come ci sottolinea Albert Stevens Crockett nelle prime parole, un cocktail che sarà intitolato per il celebre Scozzese Robert Burns; così come ci suggerisce il nome del drink stesso.



Robert Burns (1759 - 1796, Alloway in Scozia ) fu poeta e paroliere.
Oggi è considerato uno dei più grandi poeti nazionali della Scozia, ricordato e celebrato in tutto il mondo.

L'autore Crockett metterà inoltre in considerazione che il drink potrebbe essere stato anche dedicato in onore di un venditore di sigari.
A testimoniare la probabile certezza, troviamo nella edizione del 1923 del libro "Valentine's Manual of Old New York" curato da Henry Collins Brown, una foto che trae l'angolo tra la quarantaduesima e la Broadway nel 1880.
Un foto in cui si potrà riconoscere subito un pubblicità di un negozio che trae "ROBERT BURNS CIGARS".  
Un traccia che potrebbe confermare la testimonianza del libro di Crockett.


Secondo alcune fonti, potrebbe essere corretto che la bevanda fosse creata in onore di un venditore di sigari; anche se Robert Burns era il nome di una marca di sigari.
Ed è possibile che il cocktail sia stato creato al Waldorf in onore del negozio come riconoscenza al proprietario.
Anche se l' Old Waldorf Astoria Hotel apri nel 1893, circa 13 anni più tardi della foto scattata nel 1880;  è possibile che il venditore di sigari sia stato ancora in attività, come del resto il marchio di sigari Robert Burns era ancora nel mercato negli anni '50 del ventesimo secolo.

La traccia lasciata da Albert Stevens Crockett non è la prima referenza che troviamo sul cocktail in questione; precedentemente abbiamo il libro di Harry Craddock del 1930 "The Savoy Cocktail Book".
Un drink il Bobby Burns Cocktail che presenterà nella sua ricetta il Bénédictine.

BOBBY BURNS COCKTAIL
1/2 Italian Vermouth.
1/2 Scotch Whisky.
3 Dashes Bénédictine.
Shake well and strain into cocktail glass.
Squeeze lemon peel on top.

One of the very best whisky cocktails.
A very fast mover on Saint Andrew's day.

Un dei migliori cocktail per il giorno di Sant'Andrea; Santo Patrono della Scozia.

Nel 1948 David A. Embury nel suo ricettario "The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks" ci suggerirà delle nuove variazioni:

BOBBIE BURNS Rob Roy with the addition of 1 dash of Drambuie for each drink. Benedictine is sometimes used in place of Drambuie. However, the Drambuie is preferable because it is made with a Scotch whisky base.

An interesting variation of these drinks may be obtained by substituting Peychaud bitters for the Angostura. Peychaud, somehow, seems to blend better than Angostura with the Scotch.

Vedremo quindi la presenza del Drambuie, liquore con una base di Whisky Scozzese in una ricetta che vedrà inoltre la presenza dell' Angostura bitter.
Inoltre avremo un altro suggerimento proprio per quest'ultimo ingrediente; il Peychaud per l'Angostura.

Avremo modo di trovare delle tracce del drink in ricettari precedenti al periodo del proibizionismo; ed inoltre avremo diversi ingredienti dalle codifiche precedenti.
Tra queste la prima è senza dubbio il ricettario del 1910 di Jacob Abraham Grohusko "Jackʼs Manual".

ROBERT BURNS.
3 dashes of absinthe 
50% French vermouth 
50% Irish whiskey 
1/2 glass cracked ice.
Stir with spoon, strain and serve.

Per poi avere due codifiche con due nomi alquanto simili nel ricettario di Jacques Straub del 1913 "Straub's manual of mixed drinks.".

Bobbie Burns Cocktail (For Two)
1 barspoonfull orange Juice
1 barspoonfull maraschino
Crush 1 lump of sugar
1/2 jigger Scotch.
1/2 jigger Italian vermouth. Shake.

Robert Burns Cocktail
1 dash absinthe.
1/4 jigger Italian vermouth.
3/4 jigger Irish or Scotch whiskey. Shake well.

Infine nel 1924 all' interno del ricettario "Manual de Cantineros" di  León Pujol & Oscar Muñiz. 

BOBBY BURNS.
1/2 Vermoth Ytaliano.
1/2 Whisky Escoces.
2 Gotas Benedictini.
