Maple Sour Twist

Cocktail Description

A silky bourbon cocktail that perfectly balances sweet maple richness with bright citrus tang.

The Maple Sour Twist transforms classic bourbon sour elements with the addition of genuine maple syrup, creating a drink that's simultaneously sophisticated and comforting. Buffalo Trace's caramel and vanilla notes form a beautiful foundation that harmonizes with the maple's deep sweetness, while fresh lemon juice cuts through with just enough acidity to keep things lively. This cocktail shines during autumn and winter gatherings, though its refreshing qualities make it welcome year-round. Fortunately for home bartenders, it requires just three ingredients and a simple shake-and-strain technique, making it accessible even for beginners. The Maple Sour Twist pairs beautifully with savory fare like roasted pork, pecan-crusted chicken, or aged cheeses, where its sweet-tart profile complements rather than competes with rich foods.
