Cinnamon Tequila Sour
A warm and refreshing twist on a classic sour, featuring tequila, lemon juice, simple syrup, and a hint of cinnamon. Perfect for festive gatherings or cozy nights.
Ingredients
- 2 oz tequila (silver or reposado)
- 1 oz fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 oz cinnamon simple syrup (see tips below)
- 1 egg white (optional, for froth)
- Ground cinnamon and lemon twist for garnish
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, lemon juice, cinnamon simple syrup, and egg white (if using). Shake without ice for about 15 seconds to create froth.
- Add ice to the shaker and shake again for another 15 seconds until well chilled.
- Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or rock glass.
- Sprinkle a light dusting of ground cinnamon on top and garnish with a twist of lemon for a festive touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the tangy, spiced flavors of your Cinnamon Tequila Sour!
Notes
- Combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 2 cinnamon sticks in a saucepan. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, then let cool and strain into a jar.
- If you’re not using egg white, the cocktail will still have great flavor, but it won’t have a frothy texture.
- For a smoky variation, substitute mezcal for tequila.
The Cinnamon Tequila Sour is a flavorful, frothy, and festive cocktail that’s perfect for sipping during the colder months. Cheers to a drink that warms and refreshes at the same time! 🍋🍹✨
