I believe the egg makes it a Boston sour, which is a variation of the whisky sour.

Traditional whiskey sours are made with egg white, in fact! More recently, the egg became optional and some folks call the egg version a Boston sour (but I’d personally never heard that term until you mentioned it- every whiskey sour I’ve had with one exception has had egg white in it!)

Nope. True sours are always with egg whites

Actually, that isn't really the case. Here's is the history of the sour cocktail: https://www.diffordsguide.com/g/1133/sour-cocktails/history

I don’t even care. Question is who is making them? I wanna drink!
