I have put a number of these great elixirs down thru the years, but the supperclubs that served them wouldn't give up their recipes. So I just enjoyed them whenever I could. Tim wanted a recipe so whenever he asks, I oblige. I started the search on the internet of course and came up with this.
1T pure maple syrup
2oz whiskey
a few splashes of orange bitters
a squeeze of fresh orange
ice
orange rind for garnish
Mix first four ingredients in rocks glass, add crushed ice and garnish.
I asked the resort's owner and got a very similar recipe, but they top theirs with a touch of seltzer.
Now I had to make a run to the store to get the ingredients for my new lab project. Could not find orange bitters so here is what shook out. And it's mighty fine if I do say so myself!
Fill up a rocks glass with ice cubes. Add:
2 splashes bitters
1T orange juice
1T pure maple syrup
2 oz bourbon of choice
orange slice for garnish
Cheers! Now I believe it's nap time before dinner!
