Maple & Sage Bourbon Fizz
A bourbon fizz with maple syrup, fresh sage, and heavy cream — warm and aromatic, with a silky egg white foam and a dramatic bubble-dome finish.
This cocktail is part of our Date Nite collection, made to be sipped while you cook together.
Build Your Drink
Ingredients
2 oz bourbon
¾ oz lemon juice
½ oz maple syrup
1 egg white
¾ oz heavy cream
1 sage leaf
1 oz plus additional seltzer water
Garnish: fresh sage, lemon wheel
Cocktail Method
Place a large ice cube in the bottom of a cocktail shaker.
Add the bourbon, lemon juice, maple syrup, egg white, heavy cream, and sage leaf.
Shake for 15 seconds.
Remove the ice cube and shake again for an additional 10–15 seconds to build foam.
Pour 1 oz seltzer water into the bottom of a chilled Tom Collins glass.
Strain the cocktail into the glass.
Place in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to lightly set the foam.
Using a straw or skewer, poke a small hole through the center of the foam dome.
Slowly top with additional seltzer water to create the dramatic “fizz dome” effect.
Garnish with a lemon wheel and fresh sage.
Notes from the Bar
Heads up: We may earn a small commission on products we’ve linked here. We only recommend the real-deal favorites from our kitchen.
Bourbon Choice
Use a mid-range bourbon with warm vanilla, caramel, or baking-spice notes. Overly smoky or high-proof styles can overwhelm the delicate maple-sage balance.
Maple Syrup Matters
Pure maple syrup (Grade A or B) provides the depth and warmth that simple syrup can’t replicate.
• If you prefer a sweeter drink: add an extra ¼ oz maple syrup.
• For a drier fizz: reduce by ¼ oz.
Egg White & Cream
The combination of egg white and heavy cream creates the signature velvety foam.
• If you prefer a lighter fizz: reduce cream to ½ oz.
• If avoiding egg whites: use 1 oz aquafaba for a vegan foam alternative.
Sage Flavor
Shaking with a fresh sage leaf infuses the cocktail with herbaceous, earthy aroma.
• For stronger sage flavor: muddle the leaf gently before adding other ingredients.
• For subtle aroma: simply drop the leaf in whole.
Bubble-Dome Technique
This cocktail’s visual drama comes from the slow pour of seltzer through the foam.
• Don’t skip the freezer rest — it helps stabilize the dome.
• If you don’t have large ice: shake without ice, then shake with 2–3 small cubes and strain quickly.
Because every drink deserves a beautiful moment.
A ritual we return to
Our cocktails are part of something bigger for us. They’re the beginning of Date Nite, a connection-centered experience we created to help you slow down, share a meal, and enjoy time with the one you love.
Each Date Nite is thoughtfully planned for you, so you are not stuck deciding what to cook or how to pull the night together. We pair one cocktail with a complete menu, a simple flow from prep to plate, and small details that make the evening feel easy and connected from start to finish.
It is not about perfection. It is about presence, and creating space to reconnect, whether that is with your partner or simply with yourself, over a really good meal.

We created this for you — and the one you love.
