Nightshade Free Classic Maple Bourbon Sour

This cocktail is a silky, citrus-forward sipper that balances the warmth of bourbon with bright lemon and the gentle sweetness of pure maple syrup — no simple syrup, no tomato-based mixers, nothing to second-guess. The dry shake technique with pasteurized egg white builds a gorgeous, cloud-like foam on top that makes it look like something a professional bartender just handed you. Nightshade avoiders often have to scrutinize cocktail menus and pre-made mixes for unexpected spice blends or infused spirits, but every ingredient here is clean and straightforward. Angostura bitters are optional, so you can include or skip them based on your own comfort level. The double-shake method — first without ice, then with — is the real secret to that velvety texture and the distinct foam layer that settles beautifully in the glass. It's an impressive drink to serve at a gathering or to mix up on a quiet evening when you want something that feels genuinely special.
