Treat your taste buds to this fabulous winter-spiced blueberry sour. With its rye whiskey base and sweet cinnamon-infused blueberry syrup it’s a sensational sour. Adding in the bitter notes from the Cardamaro and cardamom bitters and you’ll want far more than one. I’ve got a quick cheat to get that amazing foam.
Combine rye, lemon juice, simple syrup, Cardamaro and cardamom bitters in a shaker.
Easy way: Add ice to shaker and shake for 15 seconds. Strain into a mixing glass or empty shaking tin and add egg white. Use a latte whisk or hand-held whisk to beat for 20-30 seconds until thick and full of foam. Pour into chilled coupe or wine goblet.
Hard way: Add egg white and ice to shaker and shake for 30 to 60 seconds. Double strain into a chilled coupe or wine goblet. Either way, add garnish and enjoy.
Notes
Blueberry Cinnamon Simple Syrup
2 cups blueberries
1.5 cups sugar
½ cup water
4 cinnamon sticks
I simmered the blueberries and cinnamon sticks until the blueberries started to break down and burst, then turned off the heat and let the syrup cool. I strained it through a fine metal sieve and put it in a clean jar in the refrigerator.
