June 4-Maple Old Fashioned

This is another cocktail that wears what it is on its sleeve. It is an Old Fashioned with maple syrup insetad of simple syrup. That is really all that this cocktail does differently to other old fashionds. I actually included somethinjg like this on a Christmas Eve menu for my parents’ Christmas Party.

There actually is one more thing this cocktail does that’s different. it splits the base spirit used with part bourbon and part rye. This means you get the spice of the rye and the sweetness of the bourbon, both of which go well with the maple.

This cocktail was discovered in Edinburgh Scotland in a bar called the Indogo Room.
