And today I'm adding my own spin on Kumi and Jeff's Old Fashioned
simply by adding a little bit of Fall - Apple Juice!

Let me show you how to make this yummy cocktail.

The Goods:

Apple Juice

Angostura Bitters

Brown Sugar

Bourbon

Orange

Apple

In cocktail glass, combine 2 ounces apple juice, dash of bitters and 1 teaspoon sugar.

Stir to dissolve the sugar and combine mixture.

Add ice cubes and 2 ounces bourbon to glass.

Garnish with orange peel, apple slice and maraschino cherry.

Take a sip and enjoy this festive fall cocktail!

Make sure to check back each month for a new recipe!

Whiskey Wednesday will happen every first Wednesday of the month.

When hanging out with my friends Adam and Elina recently,
we were talking about possible drinks I could make for Whiskey Wednesday.
I've known about a Whiskey Sour forever, but had never had one.
Adam insisted I MUST use an egg white if I make one though.
And I couldn't disappoint him, so that's exactly what I did!

Now let me show you how to make a Whiskey Sour!!

The Goods:

Whiskey

Simple Syrup

Lemon

Egg White

Maraschino Cherries

Separate the egg yolk from the egg white.

Measure out 2 Ounces of whiskey and pour into your shaker.

Squeeze juice from lemon, measure out 1 Ounce and pour into your shaker.

Measure 1/2 to 3/4 Ounce of simple syrup and pour into your shaker.

Lastly, measure 1 Tablespoon egg white and pour into your shaker.

Put lid on shaker and shake for a minute to combine and make egg foam.
Add ice and shake once again to chill the drink.

Strain into chilled glass with a few ice cubes.

Add marachino cherries and a slice of lemon to garnish.

While I did enjoy this drink, it wasn't my favorite.

It was good, and the flavor did grow on me, 

but I don't think I'd ever order one for myself.
