Charlie Brown Derby Sour: A Holiday Themed Cocktail

This holiday season, let's spice up our usual lineup of festive drinks with a unique cocktail. If you're a fan of Charlie Brown Christmas and delightful flavors of grapefruit and cinnamon, then you're in for a treat! In honor of one of my favorite holiday watches "Charlie Brown Christmas", I've concocted a drink similar to the Brown Derby cocktail. Let's dive into the creation of the Charlie Brown Derby Sour. Not only does this cocktail encapsulate the holiday spirit, but it's also a strong one that will fill you with holiday spirits.

The Charlie Brown Derby Sour 🍋

Here's what you'll need:

• 2 1/2 oz Rye Whiskey (you can also use Bourbon)

• 1 oz fresh squeeze grapefruit juice

• 1/2 oz lemon juice

• 1/2 oz cinnamon simple syrup (recipe on website- link in bio)

• 1 oz egg white (I used pasteurized liquid egg whites.)

• Sage for garnish

• Dehydrated grapefruit for garnish

Directions:

Before you start, throw your glass (I used a rocks glass) into the freezer to chill. In a cocktail shaker, add your rye, lemon juice, simple syrup, grapefruit juice, and egg white. Using a hand frother, give it a good froth (this is your dry shake). Next, add in ice and give it your wet shake. Grab your frosted glass from the freezer (you can add ice to it if you like) and pour in your frothy mixture. Garnish with your sage and dehydrated grapefruit. Best enjoyed while watching Charlie Brown's Christmas, of course!
