MAPLE BRANDY SOUR
THE PERFECT FALL COCKTAIL ie. the one with maple in it
In a pinch for a ladies night cocktail, I turned to my husband Franklin for help. You see, I had marinated apple slices in bourbon and maple as a garnish early in the morning figuring I’d have time to figure out the rest later and, well, my day got away from me. It all turned out great because in no time, Franklin mixed this up and it immediately became my favorite cocktail for the Fall. YOU. WILL. LOVE!
NOTE. This recipe includes maple simple syrup. If you don’t have any on hand, please allot for extra time to make a quick batch.

- Place your apple slice in a Tupperware container just big enough to hold it and coat it in bourbon and maple syrup. Let it sit for a minimum of an hour or overnight if you have the time.
- If you don’t have the time for the marinated garnish but still want the finished look, you can absolutely use a simple apple slice.
TO MAKE YOUR COCKTAIL
- Combine your brandy, lemon juice, maple simple syrup (note on how to make it below), and egg whites in your shaker. Shake for 15 seconds.
- HOW TO MAKE MAPLE SIMPLE SYRUP. combine 1 part maple syrup to 1 part water and heating over medium heat until you have an even texture. Let it cool to room temperature before using.
- Add ice and shake for another 10 seconds.
- Strain into your cocktail glass.
- Lay your apple slice on top, drink, and enjoy!
Notes
If you are making the garnish it takes at minimum 1 hour.
