Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Cocktail strainer
  • Jigger
  • Small knife
  • Citrus juicer
  • Serving glass

Ingredients

  • 2 oz bourbon whiskey
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1 oz apple cider
  • 0.5 oz simple syrup
  • 1 egg white optional, for texture
  • ice cubes
  • apple slices for garnish
  • cinnamon stick optional garnish

Instructions

  • Add bourbon, lemon juice, apple cider, simple syrup, and egg white to a cocktail shaker.
  • Dry shake (no ice) for about 15 seconds to create foam.
  • Add ice and shake again for 15–20 seconds until cold.

Notes

Use rich bourbon for depth and balance against lemon and cider. Adjust sweetness with more or less simple syrup. Egg white adds creamy texture, but is optional. Garnish with apple slices and cinnamon for a seasonal touch.
