Harvest Sour

Name: Harvest Sour
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 5 min
Yield: 1 drink
Ingredients: 30 ml Laird’s Bottled in Bond Apple Brandy; 30 ml Rye whiskey; 22.5 ml Fresh lemon juice; 22.5 ml Prepared simple syrup; 30 ml Commercially pasteurized egg white; 1 pinch Ground cinnamon; 1 piece Fresh apple slice

Apple brandy and rye share a lemon sour with a soft egg-white foam. This Laird’s version finishes with apple and cinnamon, placing the fruit-and-spice garnishes above a split-spirit base rather than mixing them into it.

Pale golden sour in a coupe, no ice, white foam with a light cinnamon dusting and one apple slice.
