I had the idea that I wanted a sour apple cocktail that wasn't tart like many of the Sour Apple Martini recipes out there. I do not want to pucker when I take a sip and those recipes typically use Sour Apple Pucker, which is the one thing I wanted to avoid. So, I created my own Apple Sour cocktail, one that is inspired by the classic Whiskey Sour. This version does not have a strong apple, nor a strong sour. Instead, it is a delicate balance that ended up being quite delicious. The bourbon base with the freshest apple juice you can get your hands on are key to finding the perfect Apple Sour.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 oz bourbon
- 1 1/4 oz apple juice
- 3/4 oz triple sec
- 1/4 oz lemon juice
- 2 dashes orange bitters
Preparation:
- Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
- Shake well.
- Strain into a chilled old-fashioned glass over ice.
