\"drink<\/p>\n

Say hello to my favorite wintertime cocktail! This drink is super cozy and made with only five ingredients, making it a no-brainer.<\/p>\n

This cocktail was inspired by my favorite drink at the Ace Hotel in Pittsburgh<\/a> called the Fairweather. It was love at first sip, and I knew I had to recreate it for myself (and for you all!).<\/p>\n

As much as I love a margarita<\/a>–and I really do–sometimes I like to switch it up, which is where this drink comes in handy. If you love tequila but want something other than a classic margarita<\/a>, this is it!<\/p>\n

And, if you’re looking for my other favorite non-margarita tequila cocktail, it’s this pineapple ginger punch<\/a> (seriously SO good).<\/p>\n

What is a tequila sour?<\/h2>\n

Tequila sour is just like whisky sour, but with tequila! It’s a cocktail that’s made with lemon juice, sugar, egg whites, and alcohol (in this case, tequila).<\/p>\n

Ingredient notes<\/h2>\n

Tequila –<\/strong> Any kind; my favorites are Espolon Blanco and Mi Campo Blanco<\/p>\n

Simple syrup –<\/strong> Equal parts sugar and water; necessary in many cocktail recipes<\/p>\n

Lemon juice –<\/strong> Freshly squeezed<\/p>\n

Cinnamon –<\/strong> Don’t skip this! The cinnamon is what makes this drink stand out (in my opinion) and what gives it that cozy vibe.<\/p>\n

Egg whites –<\/strong> The egg whites add a foamy consistency on top of the drink, which I personally love, BUT they’re not absolutely necessary, so feel free to omit.<\/p>\n

Step-by-step instructions<\/h2>\n

My favorite thing about cocktail recipes is that they’re SO easy — this one is no exception!<\/p>\n

First: Make the simple syrup.<\/strong> Combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat, and allow for the simple syrup to come to room temperature before using it.<\/p>\n

Second: Add ingredients to a cocktail shaker.<\/strong> Add the tequila, simple syrup, lemon juice, cinnamon, and ice to a cocktail shaker.<\/p>\n

Third: Add egg white and shake.<\/strong> Last, add the egg white then place the top on the shaker and shake for 30 seconds. Pour drink into your glass and drink up!<\/p>\n
