Maple Whiskey Sours

Recipes

The holiday season is nearly over, and you deserve to treat yourself (and some friends). Bid a fond farewell to 2022 and ring in 2023 with this maple-y rugged whiskey cocktail. Cheers!

We know not everyone chooses to drink spirits. If you’d like to recreate this recipe without alcohol, try replacing the bourbon with a zero-proof alternative, ginger beer, or soda/seltzer water.
