Cranberry Whiskey Sour
Description
This cocktail blends cranberry juice, freshly squeezed orange juice, whiskey, maple syrup, and egg white shaken to frothiness. The egg white adds a smooth, silky texture and delicate foam atop the drink. The maple syrup sweetens without overpowering, blending harmoniously with the tartness of cranberry and citrus. Shaking well emulsifies ingredients, forming a balanced, refreshing cocktail with moderate sweetness and bright fruit flavors.
The drink is served over a large ice cube to chill without fast dilution. Garnishing with an orange peel rind and fresh cranberries enhances visual appeal and adds subtle aromatics. Optionally, sugared cranberries or rosemary can be added for festivity. Bourbon or similar whiskey with warm caramel notes works well, softening the overall flavor.
Ingredients
- 3 oz cranberry juice
- 1 oz orange juice freshly squeezed
- 2 oz whiskey
- 1 oz maple syrup
- 1 oz egg white
- 1 lice orange peel for garnish
- cranberries for garnish, fresh
Instructions
- Add cranberry juice, whiskey, egg white, maple syrup, and freshly squeezed orange juice to a cocktail shaker.
- Shake for 20-30 seconds until ingredients are well combined.
- Place a large ice cube in the cocktail glass, and pour whiskey sour over ice.
- Use a slice of the orange that was juiced and quickly line the rim of the glass ~elegant bar tender feels~ and garnish with an orange peel. For even more of a festive feel, you can also add fresh cranberries, sugared cranberries, maybe even a piece of rosemary, etc.
Notes
- Select a whiskey that is smooth but not harsh; bourbon offers complementary caramel warmth for this cocktail.
- The whiskey quality doesn't need to be premium since it is mixed with strong accompanying flavors.
