I love making little tweaks here and there to classic cocktails to make them feel a bit more seasonal when possible. It’s such a fun way to have an update on something you already love!

I love a Whiskey Sour, especially in the cooler months—and I decided to put a really fun, seasonal spin on it, that also utilizes a natural sweetener: Maple!

One of my favorite things about living in Connecticut in the Fall and Winter is that there are lots of local farms that make their own Maple Syrup. It’s a great way to discover local farms and invest in the local economy—If you live on the East Coast, I highly recommend trying to buy local maple syrup for this cocktail if you can! I bet lots of farms even ship!

I also wanted to note that the egg white is optional in this cocktail, but does create a nice foam that adds to the drink’s aesthetic. It won’t affect the taste, though, if that idea freaks you out.

I hope you enjoy this Maple Whiskey Sour cocktail as much as I do!

Ingredients…

(Makes 1 Cocktail…)

• 2 oz. whiskey
• 1 lemon, juiced
• ¾ oz. maple syrup
• ½ oz. egg white, (optional)
• 1 shake of bitters, (optional)

Directions…

1. Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice, and shake vigorously!
2. Strain into your glass.
3. Serve! (I like to sprinkle with a dash of cayenne pepper for an extra kick but that is totally up to you!)

*Please enjoy responsibly!
