The Best Apple Whiskey Sour Recipe

I love taking a classic cocktail and adding new flavors. Usually, this is to make it a holiday flavored cocktail, and in this case, the perfect fall cocktail. Taking a traditional whiskey sour and combining it with apple cider gives a fall flavored twist to this cocktail.

A traditional whiskey sour is made of bourbon whiskey, lemon juice, and sugar. You also have the option of adding a dash of egg white, but for a regular Whiskey sour, it just calls for those three ingredients. Including the apple cider really enhances the flavors making this a must cocktail to make for Fall.

Ingredients Needed

Bourbon whiskey- This will add a sweet, smokey flavor.
Apple cider
Simple syrup- Make your own simple syrup (see below) or use store bought.
Lemon juice- This will add for the signature sour flavor.
Orange bitters- The orange bitters add flavor and work as a garnish.

How to Make This Apple Whiskey Sour

Take all your ingredients listed and pour into a cocktail shaker.
Be sure to shake and combine your ingredients well until fully mixed.
Slowly pour your mixture over ice.
Garnish your drink with orange bitters.
Serve and enjoy!

How To Make Simple Syrup

Making a simple syrup is as it says, simple. All you need to do is combine equal parts of water and sugar. Heat until the mixture forms a syrup and you are done.
