Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, add the whiskey, freshly squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup, cinnamon syrup, and egg white.
- Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This process is crucial to emulsify the egg white, which gives the cocktail a smooth, frothy texture.
- Open the shaker and fill it with ice. Then, shake again for another 15 seconds. This step ensures the cocktail is well-chilled and enhances its flavors.
- Strain the cocktail into a rocks glass filled with ice to prevent further dilution of the cocktail.
- Garnish your cocktail with a cinnamon stick for an elegant presentation and an extra hint of spice.
- Your Cinnamon Whiskey Sour is ready to serve and enjoy! For a variation, consider using bourbon instead of whiskey for a sweeter, full-bodied flavor.
Tips
- To make your own cinnamon syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan, add a couple of cinnamon sticks, and simmer until the sugar dissolves. Allow the syrup to cool completely before using it in your cocktail.
