MyBarIsOpen.com has released its next recipe for “drinks to amaze” line of how-to videos, allowing you to make incredible drinks at home that you would normally have to pay significantly for at a bar or restaurant. This is the first drink recipe for our “bourbon cocktails” category, and it is a recipe originally created by the MyBarIsOpen.com staff! It is an amazingly balanced and unique old fashioned recipe that you can use to amaze your guests, or to simply enjoy after a hard day’s work.
The Smokey Maple Old Fashioned is an amazingly balanced old fashioned, with a sweet note coupled with just enough of a smokey flavor that it doesn’t overpower the rest of the ingredients. It has an amazingly bold start with the Knob Creek bourbon, with a smooth, sweet, and smokey finish. It is definitely one of my favorite bourbon cocktails, and is often requested by pretty much every one of my friends who are bourbon drinkers.
Smokey Maple Old Fashioned
- 1 Sugar Cube
- 1/2 tsp Sugar Bob’s Smoked Maple Syrup
- 1/2 tsp Simple Syrup
- 3 dashes Peychaud’s Barrel-Aged Bitters
- 1 Large Ice Cube or Sphere
- 2 oz Knob Creek Bourbon
Insert sugar cube into center of glass. Add smoked maple syrup, simple syrup, and bitters – ensuring that sugar cube is saturated. Muddle ingredients in the glass, and then add Luxardo cherries and a small amount of the sauce from the Luxardo cherry jar. Add large ice cube to glass, pour in bourbon, and then gently stir so as to mix the ingredients without splashing. ENJOY!!!
