Ingredients
Cocktail
- 5 oz whiskey
- 1 oz simple syrup ** see chef's tips note #2
- 1 oz orange juice
- 1 oz maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Garnishes
- ice for cocktail shaker and ice for glasses
- cinnamon sticks
- Fresh rosemary sprigs
Instructions
Make cocktail
- To a cocktail shaker, add ice, whiskey, maple syrup, simple syrup, orange juice, and ground cinnamon. Cover and shake well, for about 15 seconds.
Serve
- Add a few cubes of ice to 2 small glasses (any 4-5 oz glass will work), and pour the whiskey sours from the cocktail shaker, dividing the contents equally between the two glasses.
- Top with a sprig of fresh rosemary, a cinnamon stick, and an orange slice if desired. For a fun presentation, try using a flame to light the end of the cinnamon stick, just until it starts to release a stream of smoke.
- You could also light the cinnamon stick earlier in the serving process by lighting it until it's smoking, then place on a baking sheet and top it with an inverted empty glass. Let that sit for a minute, then turn the glass right side up, add ice cubes, pour in the cocktail, and garnish as desired!
Notes
- Larger Batch:
- This recipe makes two 4 oz cocktails, although it is easily scaled up to make more drinks, or halved for a single cocktail.
- Simple syrup is a sugar water mixture that can be bought in grocery stores, usually near the cocktail mixers and add-ins. You can also make your own by combining equal parts water and granulated sugar in a saucepan and bringing it to a low boil. Boil until all the sugar has dissolved, then cool and use.
- This recipe is super easy to scale up, just figure out how many drinks you'll want, and multiply the ingredient amounts by that number. So for example, if you wanted 8 drinks, you'd need 40 oz whiskey, 8 oz maple syrup, 8 oz simple syrup, 8 oz orange juice, and 2 tsp ground cinnamon.
- For a party, you may not want to use the cocktail shaker for each drink (since that takes some time). So you can add the whiskey, maple syrup, simple syrup, orange juice, and ground cinnamon to a large pitcher. Stir well, cover, and refrigerate for several hours (until well chilled).
- Or if you'd still like to use the cocktail shaker (it does make a great presentation!), still combine everything in the pitcher and chill it, but pour some from the pitcher into an ice-filled cocktail shaker and shake up the individual drinks (just make sure you give the contents of the pitcher a good stir before pouring it into the cocktail shaker).
