Customizable

Use whatever whiskey you have on hand! Change up the citrus if you like: lime juice or orange juice could also work, albeit with a different twist.

Serving Suggestions

What to Serve With This Cocktail

Pair your Cinnamon Maple Whiskey Sour Cocktail with some delicious snacks like cheese and charcuterie boards or some savory bites. It brings people together, and, I swear, it elevates anything from just chips and dip to full-on dinner parties!

Storage

If you manage to have any leftover cocktail (which I doubt!), you can keep it in the fridge for about 2 days. Just remember to give it a good stir or shake before you serve it again!

Reheating Instructions

Honestly, cocktails are best fresh! So, I wouldn’t recommend reheating, but if you do need to make a big batch ahead of time, you can pour it into a pitcher and store it cold until your guests arrive.

Freezer Friendly

Not really recommended for freezing, as the texture can get all funky when it thaws. Stick to fresh mixes if you can!

So, there you have it! The ultimate recipe for a Cinnamon Maple Whiskey Sour Cocktail that’s quick, easy, and totally delicious. Whether it’s for a special occasion, a weeknight treat, or simply to wind down after a long day, this drink delivers tons of flavor and comfort.
