Cinnamon Sour Cocktail image

In this tasty twist on a whiskey sour, fresh lime juice replaces the usual lemon, and homemade cinnamon syrup adds a spicy warmth to the cocktail. It's served accented with candied ginger and Luxardo cherries, the deeply flavored doyennes of the maraschino family.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cinnamon sticks
1/2 cup sugar
2 ounces bourbon, such as Bulleit
3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon dry red wine, such as Merlot (optional)
Candied ginger and a best-quality maraschino cherry, such as Luxardo, for serving

This sour is the perfect way to enjoy cinnamon whiskey. It's also nice to not need egg white for the foam.
