Equipment

  • Equipment Needed:
  • Cocktail shaker
  • Jigger or measuring tool
  • Strainer
  • Glass (rocks or coupe)

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 2 oz bourbon
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1 oz pure maple syrup
  • Ice cubes
  • Lemon wheel for garnish
  • Maraschino cherry for garnish, optional

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Gather Your Ingredients: Ensure you have all the ingredients ready. Fresh lemon juice is key to achieving that bright flavor, so it’s best to juice a lemon rather than using bottled juice.
  • Mix the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the bourbon, fresh lemon juice, and maple syrup.
  • Add Ice: Fill the shaker with ice cubes. You want it to be cold, so don’t be shy with the ice!
  • Shake It Up: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This mixes the ingredients well and chills the drink.
  • Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with ice or a coupe glass for a more elegant presentation.
  • Garnish: Add a lemon wheel and a maraschino cherry on top for a pop of color.
  • Enjoy: Take a moment to admire your handiwork, then enjoy your Maple Bourbon Sour!
  • Variations
  • Maple Bourbon Sour with Ginger: Add a splash of ginger ale for a spicy kick.
  • Herbal Twist: Infuse your bourbon with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for a more complex flavor.
  • Maple Syrup Alternatives: For a vegan option, substitute maple syrup with agave syrup or honey (if not vegan).
