Pistachio Free Classic Maple Bourbon Sour
This cocktail is a serious crowd-pleaser — tart, silky, and just sweet enough to keep you coming back for another sip. The combination of bourbon, fresh lemon juice, and pure maple syrup creates a beautifully balanced drink that feels both classic and a little unexpected. A dry shake with pasteurized egg white builds that signature frothy foam on top, which makes every glass look like it came straight from a proper cocktail bar. Tree nut allergies can make ordering drinks out a genuine gamble, since flavored syrups and specialty garnishes sometimes hide surprising ingredients — but every element here is straightforward and easy to verify. The optional Angostura bitters dotted across the foam add a gorgeous visual touch and a subtle aromatic depth that elevates the whole thing. Whether you're mixing for a dinner party or just treating yourself on a Friday night, this one is worth shaking up properly.
