In addition to the vibrant colours and pumpkin-spiced, well, everything these days, autumn brings along with a long weekend ideal for rest and relaxation...and imbibing. If you find yourself wanting to kick back by the fireplace with a drink, try sipping on this spin on a classic whisky sour by Forty Creek Whisky.

The combination of tart lemon and full-bodied Forty Creek Copper Pot Whisky along with a dollop of marmalade and a bit of Grand Marnier is anything, but traditional, but fulfilling all the same.

"No bananas were harmed" cocktail

1.5 oz Forty Creek Copper Pot whisky
1/2 ounce Grand Marnier
1 tsp orange marmalade
2 dashes Angostura Bitters
3/4 ounce lemon juice
1 egg white, optional

Combine all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and dry shake (i.e. with no ice) until mixture in shaker is nice and frothy, approximately 15 seconds.

Next, add ice to the cocktail shaker and wet shake for at least 15 more seconds.

Strain into chilled coupe or rocks glass, garnish with an orange slice and serve.
