The gin sour is a traditional mixed cocktail which antedates Prohibition.
In an 1898 book by Finley Dunne, Mr. Dooley includes it in a list of great American inventions:[1]

An' th' invintions,—th' steam-injine an' th' printin-press an th' cotton gin an' the gin sour an' th' bicycle an' th' flying machine an' th' nickel-in-th'-slot machine an' th' Croker machine an' th' sody fountain an'—crownin' wur-ruk iv our civilization—th' cash raygister.
