Apple Whiskey Sour

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.
