The Maple Sour Whisky – The Sweet-Woody Perfect

The Whisky Maple Sour is a delightful variation of the Whisky Sour, where maple syrup replaces traditional sugar. This cocktail highlights the roundness of bourbon whisky and adds a woody, smooth, and warm note, perfect for fall or cozy evenings. A simple, refined, and sweet recipe.

• 5 cl of bourbon whisky
• 2.5 cl of fresh lemon juice
• 2 cl of pure maple syrup
• 1 egg white (optional)
• Ice cubes
• Garnish: orange zest or dried maple leaf

1. In a shaker, add the whisky, lemon juice, maple syrup, and the egg white if used.
2. Shake without ice (dry shake) for 10 seconds to create a silky foam.
3. Add ice cubes and shake again for 10 seconds to chill everything properly.
4. Strain into a coupe or old fashioned glass.
5. Garnish with an orange zest or a small dried maple leaf for an elegant visual effect.

- Choose a high-quality maple syrup for rich and natural flavors.
- The egg white adds a light and creamy foam, but it can be replaced with aquafaba.
- Ideal to serve in fall, as an after-dinner cocktail or a sweet aperitif.
