Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare glass

Select a chilled rocks glass. If desired, briefly rinse the glass with cold water and discard to slightly chill.

2

Add maple and bitters

In the rocks glass (or a mixing glass if you prefer stirring), add 1/2 tablespoon pure maple syrup, 3 dashes black walnut bitters and 1 dash Angostura bitters (optional).

3

Add bourbon

Pour 2 oz bourbon into the glass with the maple syrup and bitters.

4

Combine and integrate

If using a mixing glass: add a large ice cube, stir gently for about 20–30 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted. If preparing directly in the serving glass: add the large ice cube and gently stir for 10–15 seconds to combine the maple syrup with the bourbon and bitters.

5

Express and garnish

Take the orange peel and hold it over the glass, skin side down. Give it a firm twist to express the oils over the surface of the drink, then rub the peel around the rim and drop it into the glass as a garnish. Add a Luxardo or brandied cherry on a pick if desired.

6

Serve

Serve immediately with one large ice cube. Sip slowly to enjoy the maple and walnut-bitters notes against the bourbon.
