Name: Christmas Day Clementine Sour
Total time: 1 min
Ingredients: 1 1/2 ounces bourbon, preferably Elijah Craig 12-year-old; 1/2 ounce Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao; 1/4 ounce spiced brown sugar syrup ( see recipe); Juice of 1 clementine (about 1 ounce), plus ribbon of peel for garnish; 1 egg white (optional); 1/2 teaspoon Luxardo Amaretto (enough to rinse inside of coupe glass); 2 dashes Angostura bitters

Here’s a cocktail that’s both a tribute to my mother (who loved whiskey sours laced with amaretto) and to my favorite flavors of the Christmas season: clementines, cinnamon and cloves. Juice the clementines a day in advance to save yourself some trouble on the holiday.
