Maple Leaf

  • Total time: 5 Minutes
  • Servings: 1 Drink

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Bourbon or Canadian Whiskey
  • 1/2 oz Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 oz Lemon Juice
  • Cinnamon Stick or Lemon Twist, for garnish

Directions

  • 1)

    You can either chill your rocks glass or give it a sugar rim (don’t do both, a chilled glass will turn the sugar rim syrupy).

  • 2)

    Add the bourbon, maple syrup, and lemon juice into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.

  • 3)

    Shake hard for 20 to 30 seconds until the shaker is frosty and chilled.

  • 4)

    Double strain the liquid into your prepared glass (with or without ice).

  • 5)

    Add a cinnamon stick or express a lemon zest twist over the top.

Notes

Came across this recipe googling cocktail recipes that use maple syrup to celebrate receiving my Canadian passport. It’s delicious and very similar to a Gold Rush.
