Candy apple whiskey sour

This candy apple whiskey sour is a sweet, tart, and spicy cocktail perfect for fall festivities.

I love a good whiskey sour and this candy apple whiskey sour does not disappoint. It’s a fun, seasonal twist on a classic whiskey sour that has enough appeal to those that like candy-like cocktails, but enough complexity to please whiskey fans too.

This cocktail is perfect for fall gatherings, Halloween parties, or just sipping while you watch the leaves change. I also have this salted caramel apple whiskey sour that is perfect for this time of year too.

If you love a good sour cocktail try my classic whiskey sour. There’s also my cranberry whiskey sour, a New York sour, a cherry bourbon sour, a pear amaretto sour, and my ever popular on Pinterest cherry vanilla amaretto sour.
