Ingredients Healthy Fruit Recipes Healthy Citrus Recipes Healthy Lemon Recipes Maple Whiskey Sour 5.0 (2) 2 Reviews If you're looking for an easy happy hour recipe, but feeling a little limited on ingredients, we've got a bit of good news: you don't have to have a fully stocked bar to turn out a delicious whiskey sour. Hopefully, you've got a little whiskey or bourbon lying around, a bit of maple syrup and fresh citrus. And if you're really looking to elevate your beverage, add some aquafaba to the mix. While not necessary, it stands in for the traditional egg white to create a lovely layer of foam at the top. By Kate E.
