Maple Old Fashioned

Drinks · 5 min · Serves 1 · Easy · Best with Amber Rich maple syrup

The classic whiskey cocktail made even better with pure maple syrup. Smoother, richer, and unmistakably Adirondack.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz bourbon or rye whiskey
  • 1/2 oz pure maple syrup (Amber Rich)
  • 2–3 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 1 orange peel
  • Luxardo cherry (optional)
  • Large ice cube

Method

  1. Add maple syrup and bitters to a rocks glass. Stir to combine.
  2. Add one large ice cube.
  3. Pour bourbon over the ice. Stir gently for 15–20 seconds.
  4. Express the orange peel over the glass by squeezing it skin-side down, then drop it in.
  5. Garnish with a cherry if desired. Sip slowly.
Tip: Amber Rich maple brings warmth and body without overpowering the whiskey. For a shortcut, try our Runamok Old Fashioned Maple Cocktail Mixer.
