Check here for more details.Standard ground shipping is free for all US orders.Tenjaku Blended Japanese Whisky: This one comes with a mild smoky flavour if you're looking for that smoked maple old fashioned feel, but don't want to spring (or don't have a smoking gun).It's also widely available and super affordable. Rittenhouse Straight Rye: this is a favourite of bartenders because it plays well in most cocktails, due to it's complex spice notes (again, ideal with maple syrup).It pair particularly well in a maple old fashioned because of the citrus notes combined with some bitter herbs that will hold their own with the maple syrup. Suntory Whisky Toki: If you haven't had a Japanese whiskey yet, you're missing out, and this is a great one to start with.With a maple old fashioned, we have to consider whiskeys that pair well and will hold up to the rich and sweet maple syrup. In a typical old fashioned, we'd be looking for a Goldilocks whiskey or bourbon: not too sweet, not too spicy, something smooth that slides into the "just right" category. Can't you just smell it from here?! So cozy. If you have a smoking gun, I highly encourage you to give it a try! If you don't have one, getting one will up your home-bartending game by approximately 1000% because it's so much fun. Plus, this will honestly transport you to a mountain cabin beside a roaring wood-burning fire while fat snowflakes fall softly outside the window (aka my version of heaven). This is an incredibly popular cocktail to try smoking with, because all of the flavour notes already go so well with that smoky aroma you get. Finally, a brandied cherry adds a depth of flavour to the cocktail - making it a winter classic, and with some similarities to the Amaretto Sour. Orange you can pick up from the bitters, but also the aroma of the fresh peel we're going to rub around the rim of the class. Of course, maple will be one of the predominant flavours. Again, a whiskey with notes of winter spices, like cinnamon, clove, and allspice work well with this recipe. The flavours you pick up will vary depending on the whiskey or bourbon you use. Don't skip out on them entirely though, they're pretty necessary to balance out the overt sweetness of the maple syrup.Īlso, I feel like this should not need to be said, but please, for the love of god, use real maple syrup in this recipe. If you can't find orange bitters (obsessed with these orange and juniper bitters from Bittered Sling, btw), you can definitely swap them out for something else, think cherry, cinnamon or some other warming winter spice. Fresh or dehydrated orange peel (for garnish)Īnd that's it.One of the best parts about this cocktail is how few ingredients it takes, and how easy it is to make. While I think you can totally drink this any time of year (what can I say, I'm Canadian, and maple syrup season is 12 months a year), it definitely goes best with a cozy fire, an thick pair of socks and a well-worn novel. This cocktail is booze forward, but balanced out by the maple flavour, hit with some citrus and cherry for an amazing nuanced drinking experience. Welcome, friends to one of my favourite drinks: the maple old fashioned.
