Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 2 ounces bourbon (I like Four Roses)
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon maple syrup, to taste
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • Ice, preferably large cubes
  • Orange peel, for garnish
  • Optional: 1 Luxardo cherry or other cocktail cherry, for garnish

Instruction

  • In a lowball glass, pour in the bourbon, 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup and a couple dashes of bitters. Stir to combine.
  • Add a large ice cube or several small, and gently stir in a circular motion until the drink is very cold, about 20 seconds. Taste, and stir in 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon more maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink.
  • Use a vegetable peeler to remove a hefty strip of orange peel. Gently twist it, skin side down, over the drink to release the oils. Then place the orange peel in the glass. Enjoy.
