Cinnamon Maple Whiskey Sour

What I love most about this fall whiskey sour is how versatile it feels. It’s refreshing enough to enjoy on a sunny autumn afternoon but has the depth to feel comforting by a crackling fire.

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Jigger or measuring spoons
  • Strainer
  • Citrus Juicer
  • Muddler (optional)
  • Rocks glass or coupe glass

Ingredients
  

For the Cocktail:

  • 2 oz maple whiskey
  • 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon or a small cinnamon stick for garnish
  • 1 egg white optional, for frothiness
  • Ice

For Garnish:

  • Lemon wheel or twist
  • Cinnamon stick
  • A light drizzle of maple syrup optional

Instructions
 

Prep Your Ingredients

  • Measure out 2 oz maple whiskey, 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice, and 1/2 oz maple syrup.
  • If using egg white, separate it from the yolk and have it ready.
  • Sprinkle or prepare 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon for mixing or garnish.
  • Pro Tip: Using fresh lemon juice instead of bottled makes your cocktail taste brighter and more balanced—don’t skip this step!

Combine Ingredients in the Shaker

  • Add the whiskey, lemon juice, maple syrup, and cinnamon into your cocktail shaker.
  • If using egg white, add it here for frothiness.
  • Pro Tip: Adding the egg white last helps create a nice frothy texture when shaken.

Dry Shake (If Using Egg White)

  • Shake vigorously without ice for about 15–20 seconds to emulsify the egg white.
  • Pro Tip: A “dry shake” creates a silky, foamy top without watering down your cocktail.

Shake with Ice

  • Add ice to the shaker until about halfway full.
  • Shake again for 15–20 seconds until well-chilled.
  • Pro Tip: Shake firmly, but not so hard you spill—your goal is a smooth, cold mixture with a slight froth.

Strain and Serve

  • Use a strainer to pour your cocktail into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.
  • Optionally, drizzle a little maple syrup on top for extra sweetness.

Garnish

  • Add a lemon wheel or twist and a cinnamon stick.
  • Give a gentle swirl to release the aroma.
  • Pro Tip: The cinnamon stick doubles as a stirrer and enhances the cozy fall aroma—perfect for sipping slowly.
