  • 2 dashes cinnamon sugar

    1. Combine the bourbon whiskey and maple syrup in a shaker filled with ice.

    2. Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds.

    4. For extra sweetness, sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the surface.

    5. Garnish with an orange slice and a cherry for a classic touch.

    Why is it called Sunday Monk?

    The origins of the name "Sunday Monk" are uncertain, but there are a few theories:

  • Monk-like appearance
    The cinnamon sugar creates a snowy, monk-like appearance on the surface.
  • Weekend treat
    It's a perfect cocktail for relaxing on a weekend, hence "Sunday Monk."
  • Sweet and calming
    The combination of ingredients is said to be reminiscent of a comforting bowl of oatmeal, hence the "monk" reference.
