This cocktail is an essential part of any holiday gathering, whether it's a small group or just yourself this year! The Mystical One is a festive whiskey sour with the addition of herbal sage, sweet cinnamon and fresh lime juice.
If you are looking for a drink to pair with your turkey - look no further! This is a holiday sipper that won't ruin your palette before you get to the main course.
I prefer my whiskey sour with an egg white added in for additional richness. If you decide to add the egg white, remember to dry shake for 30 seconds first to incorporate and froth the mixture, then add ice and shake a second time to combine and dilute.
Wishing you all the happiest of holidays physically separate, but still together.
Take care and stay safe,

In a cocktail shaker, add 3 sage leaves and cinnamon syrup. Muddle or stamp and turn lightly to release the sage leaf oils. Add the lime juice and bourbon. Top shaker off with ice and shake until the outside of the tin is chilled. Strain drink into an old fashioned or coupe glass and garnish with remaining sage leaf.
