Method
Cocktail
- 1
Chill glass
Place a coupe or old-fashioned glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill it.
- 2
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Ezra Brooks bourbon, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 1 oz fresh orange juice, 0.75 oz cranberry juice, and 0.5 tsp pure maple syrup. If using, add 1 dash Angostura bitters.
- 3
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker three-quarters full with ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the exterior of the shaker becomes very cold and slightly frosty.
- 4
Prepare glass
Discard the ice water from the chilled glass (if used) and strain any residual water. Optionally, add a large ice cube to an old-fashioned glass if you prefer the drink on the rocks; otherwise use the chilled coupe/rocks glass neat.
- 5
Strain
Double-strain the shaken cocktail into the chilled glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and any pulp from the juices.

Garnish and serve
Express the oils from an orange twist over the drink and drop it in, or float a lemon wheel on top. Serve immediately.
