For more classic cocktails with a twist, also try our coffee negroni or tequila negroni. This maple old fashioned recipe couldn’t be easier to make, either. Simply stir the ingredients together in a rocks glass, add a large ice cube, and garnish it with some orange peel or maraschino cherries. It’s a well-balanced drink with a festive feel that’s perfect for fall dinner parties, holidays, or cozy nights by the fire.
Bourbon – bourbon has a bit of a sweeter, smoother taste than other types of whiskey. Its caramel and vanilla flavors are a perfect match with the maple syrup. Since it’s a boozy drink, you won’t regret using good-quality bourbon. Maple syrup – only the real thing will do here, so look for pure maple syrup. It adds just the right amount of sweetness and maple flavor. Angostura bitters – bitters offer drinks complexity and depth of flavor. Angostura bitters have a slightly spicy taste with hints of cinnamon and clove. You can find it in the drinks section of most grocery stores. You can also use orange bitters for a twist. Orange peel and maraschino cherries – while the cherries are a garnish, the orange peel adds a wonderful scent and flavor to the drink.
It’s a versatile drink you can serve anytime you would serve a classic old fashioned. It makes a festive welcome cocktail for fall dinner parties, special occasions like Thanksgiving or Christmas, or as a nightcap by the fire after a delicious meal.
