Welcome to the GND Recipes Library! The Maple Bourbon Sour takes the beloved classic and gives it a cozy, complex upgrade. By swapping traditional simple syrup for pure maple syrup, you get deep, earthy notes that pair flawlessly with oak-aged bourbon and the sharp zing of fresh lemon.

Recipe Details

• Prep Time: 4 Minutes

• Servings: 1 Drink

• Difficulty: Medium

Ingredients

• 2 oz Premium Bourbon

• 1 oz Fresh lemon juice

• 3/4 oz Pure maple syrup

• 1 Egg white or 1 oz Aquafaba (optional, for that classic frothy top)

• Ice cubes

• GND Blood Orange Slices for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. The Dry Shake: If using egg white or aquafaba, add the bourbon, lemon juice, maple syrup, and egg white to your shaker without ice. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds to build the foam.

2. The Wet Shake: Open the shaker, add ice, and shake again for another 10-15 seconds to chill the drink.

3. Strain: Strain the mixture into a rocks glass over fresh ice.

4. Garnish: Carefully place a dark, dramatic dehydrated blood orange slice right on top of the foam.

💡 GND Pro-Tip: The rich, earthy sweetness of maple syrup needs a bold citrus contrast. Our dehydrated blood orange slices provide a stunning visual against the white foam and add a deeply caramelized, intense citrus aroma that elevates every sip. 👉 Shop GND Blood Orange Slices
