Autumn in New England

In New England, fall isn’t just a season; it’s a celebration. It’s the slow drive down a winding country road, windows cracked to catch the scent of leaves and pine.

This is the legendary LA hideaway, famous for playing host and friend to Hollywood royalty for over a century. From the deals made in the Polo Lounge to the romances lived out in the secluded bungalows, this has been Tinsel Town’s playground since Beverly Hills was born.

Spiced Maple Bourbon Sour

Ingredients (per glass):

  • 2 oz bourbon

  • ¾ oz fresh lemon juice

  • ½ oz pure maple syrup (the real stuff!)

  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters

  • 1 egg white (optional, for a silky foam)

  • Fresh grated cinnamon or nutmeg, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a cocktail shaker, add bourbon, lemon juice, maple syrup, bitters, and egg white (if using).

  2. Shake without ice first (this is called a “dry shake”) for about 10–15 seconds to build a nice foam.

  3. Add ice, then shake again until well chilled.

  4. Strain into a coupe or rocks glass.

  5. Garnish with a dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg.

Why it works:
The maple syrup gives a deep, earthy sweetness, the lemon keeps it bright, and the bourbon’s warmth carries all those autumn spice notes. The egg white (optional) adds that cozy, velvety mouthfeel.
