"November brings a cozy vibe with the hint of approaching winter. A perfect cocktail for this time could be a "Maple Bourbon Old Fashioned." It combines the warmth of bourbon with the sweetness of maple syrup, creating a delightful drink for chilly evenings."
Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 oz bourbon
- 1/2 oz pure maple syrup
- 2-3 dashes Angostura bitters
- Orange peel
- Ice
- Maraschino cherry (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- In a mixing glass or shaker, add bourbon, maple syrup, and dashes of Angostura bitters.
- Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir gently for about 30 seconds to chill and dilute the drink slightly.
- Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with ice.
- Express the oils from an orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a gentle twist. Then, drop the peel into the glass.
- Optionally, garnish with a maraschino cherry.
This cocktail embodies the essence of fall with its rich flavors and is perfect for enjoying by the fireplace or during a relaxing evening with friends and family. Cheers!
