A classic whiskey sour with bourbon, fresh lemon, and maple syrup, garnished with cherry.
5 steps, about 3 minutes start to finish.
Add bourbon, fresh lemon juice, and maple syrup to a cocktail shaker with ice.
Shake well.
Strain into a glass.
Garnish with a cocktail cherry and orange peel if available.
Can also add a couple dashes of orange bitters if desired.
“Fresh lemon juice makes this drink, so squeeze it rather than pouring from a bottle. Shake hard with ice to chill it and balance the tart, sweet, and bourbon.”
