Cozy Up with an Apple Cinnamon Bourbon Sour This Fall
There’s nothing quite like the warmth of an Apple Cinnamon Bourbon Sour on a crisp Fall evening. The blend of smooth bourbon, sweet apple, and fragrant cinnamon perfectly captures the essence of the season. Whether you’re unwinding after a long day or hosting friends, this cocktail is a must-have for your autumn drink lineup.
One of our favorite fall traditions is making a batch of apple cinnamon-infused bourbon. It’s a versatile addition to your home bar, perfect for elevating a variety of cocktails throughout the Fall and Holiday season. Not only does it add a cozy twist to classic cocktails, but it’s also delightful in hot chocolate or coffee for an after-dinner treat. But, if we had to pick a favorite way to enjoy it, hands down, it would be in an Apple Cinnamon Bourbon Sour.
If you haven’t started your apple cinnamon bourbon yet, don’t worry—it’s quick to make. A few days is all you need to develop those rich, warming flavors. But if you’re short on time and still craving that cozy cocktail, you can skip the infusion and simply whip up this cocktail with a cinnamon stick as a garnish. Either way, you’ll be savoring the taste of Fall in no time.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces apple cinnamon bourbon
- 1 ounce fresh lemon juice
- 1 ounce pink apple simple syrup
- ½ ounce egg white optional
- Ice
- Large cube of ice
- Apple slice for garnish
- Cinnamon stick for garnish
Instructions
Instructions for Apple Cinnamon Bourbon Sour:
- To get a great looking garnish, slice an apple just off center of the stem on either side, to show the stem and seeds. Save the rest of the apple for a snack, or more garnishes!
- Add the cinnamon apple bourbon, pink apple syrup, and lemon juice and egg white into a cocktail shaker. This recipe does call for egg white to create a foam, but if you prefer to leave it out, you may. Add ice and shake vigorously.
- Pour cocktail over large cube of ice. Lay the apple on the ice, or garnish it on the side of glass and add a cinnamon stick.
