A holiday twist on a classic bourbon sour, this cocktail balances citrus with sweet peppermint. The bourbon gets a minty sweetness from homemade candy cane syrup along with the warm spice of our Rustic Oak Traditional cocktail mixer. Instead of an egg white top, the foam comes from a bit of fluffy meringue for a truly festive winter sipper.
