Scale
- 2 ounces (60 ml) whiskey (bourbon or rye)
- 1 ounce (30 ml) pure maple syrup
- 1 ounce (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of ground cinnamon
- 1 egg white (optional, or use aquafaba for vegan option)
- Ice (for shaking and serving)
Instructions
- Juice the lemon to get about 1 ounce (30 ml) of fresh lemon juice.
- In a shaker, combine whiskey, maple syrup, lemon juice, and a pinch of ground cinnamon.
- If using egg whites, add them to the shaker for a creamy texture.
- Add ice to the shaker until it is about half full and seal tightly.

Notes
For a vegan option, use aquafaba instead of egg whites. Adjust the sweetness by reducing the maple syrup or adding more lemon juice. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or lemon zest for extra flair.
