Why KJ Loves
Hard Apple Whiskey Sours
Hard Apple Whiskey Sours are the perfect Fall cocktail! Sweet and crisp from the hard apple cider, loaded full of apple flavor from the apple whiskey and just the right amount of sour from the fresh lemon juice. This is the cocktail you need to be sipping on these cool, Fall nights!
Hard Apple Whiskey Sour Ingredients
Apple whiskey
Replace the classic whiskey with apple whiskey for a punch of apple flavor.
Hard apple cider
The hard apple cider brings the apple flavor home and provides the “fizz” for this fall cocktail.
Lemon juice
Lemon juice is the “sour” to our apple whiskey sour.
Maple syrup
Instead of simple syrup, use a cozy fall alternative. Make sure you use pure maple syrup (not the artificial stuff!).
Ice
You’ll use crushed or cubed ice for this cocktail.
If you want, you can get festive with your ice cubes! Check out different silicone ice cube molds to get different shapes and sizes. You could also add apple slices to your ice cube trays before you freeze them. We’re all about the apples with this cocktail!
Serve Them Up!
Glasses
Serve this cocktail in a cobbler glass or old-fashioned glass.
Rims

Share!
This cocktail is best served by the glass. If you’re making a large pitcher of hard apple whiskey sours, wait to add the hard apple cider until right before serving.
