MAPLE

OLD FASHIONED

WITH AN ABSINTHE TWIST

I call this an Old Fashioned with a Sazerac twist, because of the addition of absinthe. Absinthe is an anise flavored spirit made, and really gives this cocktail an interesting taste. We also swap out the sugar cube for maple syrup.

Maple Old Fashioned Ingredients

HOW TO MAKE YOUR COCKTAIL

Start by pouring a splash of absinthe in an old fashioned glass, about 1/4 ounce, and rinse all along the inner edges. Discard any excess. 

WHAT IS

ABSINTHE?

Absinthe is a strong spirit made by distilling a neutral alcohol with botanicals like anise or fennel. It's alcohol content varies between 45%-75%, so drink with caution! It's why it's used as just a rinse here.

In a cocktail mixing glass,  add your ice cubes, whiskey and maple syrup. 

STIR WELL 

Strain whiskey mix into the absinthe rinsed glass, and if desired, add ice cubes or drink it neat.

Garnish with an orange twist and Luxardo cherry, and serve on the rocks or neat.
