Maple Sour Shake

Cocktail Description

A bourbon-lover's dream, reinvented with nature's golden sweetener and transformed into a silky, frothy masterpiece.

The Maple Sour Shake takes the classic whiskey sour formula and elevates it with rich maple syrup, creating a beautiful balance between the warm vanilla and caramel notes of Buffalo Trace bourbon and bright citrus from freshly squeezed lemon juice. The addition of egg white creates a luxurious, velvety texture that makes each sip feel indulgent yet refreshing. This cocktail shines as a pre-dinner drink during autumn gatherings or as a nightcap on cool evenings when you want something both comforting and sophisticated. Even novice home bartenders can master this recipe, though the dry shake technique (shaking ingredients without ice first) requires a bit of patience to achieve that perfect foam. The Maple Sour Shake pairs wonderfully with savory appetizers like bacon-wrapped dates, aged cheeses, or heartier fare such as roasted pork or glazed salmon.
