For those of us who buck trends, think outside the box, live the life of a rebel and cause all sorts of head-scratching social mayhem by not being a part of all the New Years Eve riff-raff and enjoy a (many) cocktail in the comfort of our own home with a carefully selected group of friends/family…I have a drink for your impressively refined taste.
THE MAPLE OLD FASHIONED
- 2 oz of good bourbon (I dig Bulleit)
- 1 tsp Dark Amber Maple Syrup (if I catch you using Mrs. Butterworth, you’re gonna get blacklisted)
- 2 dashes Angostura Bitters
- 2 dashes Orange Bitters
- 1 Maraschino Cherry
- Orange or Lemon twist (totally optional, but it looks pretty and does add flavor)
- Ice (ice baby)
