Wwelcome back to booze and rocks my name is David Edwards today we are going to make two
cinnamon maple whiskey sours you know what I'm really looking forward to this let's get into it
great to have every single one of you back here today we are making a cinnamon maple whiskey
sour and I'm looking forward to this and i hope you are too I'm going to do this two ways why
why not should we have one with a silky smooth egg white or should we have it without the egg white
that's the question of the day leave a comment down below and tell me which one you think will
be better so the first thing we need is our two shaking glasses and I'm going to build these
side by side the second thing you need is your bourbon of choice in this case
I'm using bullet bourbon now this is a 45 percent alcohol or 90 proof i really really like this
it smells great it tastes great it gives you just that little bit of a spice and you know what
you just can't go wrong and for these cocktails we're going to use two ounces or 60 milliliters
oh yeah look at that beautiful beautiful color I'm having a problem putting my cork on today
next we need some lemon so what you're gonna do is you're gonna grab one lemon and maybe two lemons
because we're going to use one ounce of lemon juice per each of these cocktails
in this case you're going to get approximately an ounce or a little bit more out of each lemon so
what we'll do is we'll chop a lemon and what we're going to do is we're going to cut two thin slices
because we're thinking about our garnish
and we're gonna put those right there chop the other one now let's get into it
pick that limit up after the chute and wash it off yeah look at that now that
we're done with these there's a little bit left in that and I'll use that to make another one
put those away for later I'm going to use those to make
a lemon juice or lemon syrup I'm not quite sure how i want to do that yet
so this part looks really really good simple but you know what you need you need some of this
choose your Canadian maple syrup of choice now if you live in the states and you're more likely
for you to get Vermont maple syrup definitely go from that because Vermont maple syrup is just as
good as Canadian maple syrup but I'm partial to Canadian because well i live up here right so we
don't need a lot for this because maple syrup is very sweet we need half an ounce or 15 milliliters
oh yeah everything's better with maple syrup that and I like I really like bacon right
now we need to add cinnamon some people will say this is optional you can make your choices
on what you want to do with that however what I'm going to do is I'm going to take some cinnamon and
we're going to grate it directly into the glasses now you need about a pinch how much is a pinch
totally up to you because this is your cocktail so however much cinnamon you actually want in there
alright so that's about a pinch each but you know what I'm going to shake both of these so
David will use his manly muscles and drop small cinnamon sticks in there as well
that way it'll soak up and gain us some more of that cinnamon flavor because
i like cinnamon and i like maple syrup move your knife out of the way because David gets dangerous
and you know what you need to grab an egg and in one of these we are going to have one egg white
and you know what this wouldn't be booze on the rocks
if David didn't shoot the egg yolk and reach for something
oh
oh my throat oh that's 151.
um i should know better now you don't have to do that you could use a prairie oyster
or which is you know a bunch of other stuff or you could be a fool like me or you could choose
not to do that because i know some people worry about e coli so what we're going to do is we're
going to dry shake this one and wet shake this one well to dry shake this one first firmly slap a lid
in there flip it over and shake the crap out of it really really hard for a good 10 seconds
not doing it anyways normally you can hear the sound
leave that for a moment grab some ice
now we're going to shake this one harder as well wet fingers and shake this hard
now while i catch my breath we are going to pop this back open
and we are going to shake this with ice for another 10 seconds
and we're doing this to cool this off at this point
slap that back on make sure you're on good because the seal will be wet and shake hard again
and that's a workout
take those put these off to the side
i seem to have made a bit of a mess here when i took the cap off clean that up and just for
the wonders we are going to use a rocks glass and a slightly different rocks glass
for our non-foam we're going to use a nice block of ice
because the glass is a little bit smaller we're going to use some cubed ice
and that's more sleep just for the aesthetics for myself personal taste
all right let's see we got here
look at that two totally different looking cocktails both gorgeous both absolutely beautiful
take your first piece of garnish slide that in there like so grab a piece of
cinnamon jam that in there as well so you got yourself a nice little piece of cinnamon
put this on top like so and a piece of cinnamon in there as well but you know what
this side wouldn't be as sour if you didn't use a little bit of angostura bitters now i
don't want a lot i just want three or four drops on top and this is completely for the aromatics
and it looks nice too right
ash
ah well it's one of those days seeing as how i'm now covered in bitters and so is the countertop
let's smell each of them and taste each of them and see how they work
so let's start with the first one
so so the first thing i smell
is a little bit of cinnamon and a little bit of lemon and just a gentle hint of the bourbon
oh yeah that is really good
you still get the lemon you get the bourbon comes through nice on it
you get the cinnamon hints it's subtle the maple syrup is just sweet enough that it
balances it nicely and gives you just a positive hint of citrus oh that's good
let's check this next one now that it's had a chance to fold out
so initially you get a little bit of the bitters on top because it's
right there you get some cinnamon a little bit of
citrus
the lemon comes out a little bit stronger in this one
no yeah absolutely just a little bit of more of a hint of lemon the bourbon is good
you can't get go wrong with either these are both really good you get a silkier mouse feel
in my opinion i prefer it with the egg white in my opinion tell me down below what you
think you would prefer better would you prefer without the egg white or with the egg white
now what i will do is i will put the ingredients for both of these down in the description down
