Apple Whiskey Sour is the perfect Fall cocktail. Including the classic whiskey sour flavors with the addition of apple cider.

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.
