FRIDAY COCKTAIL - THE NOR' EASTER!

Appropriate, of course, after the recent weather hit to much of the North East.  This cocktail is a take on the classic Dark and Stormy.  It brings together a bit of the South (KY Bourbon) and flavors of the North East like maple syrup which compliments the taste of the bourbon.

Ingredients:

2 oz good Bourbon (Old Crow preferred)
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz maple syrup
splash of ginger beer
lime wedge for garnish

In a shaker, combine bourbon, lime juice and maple syrup.  Add ice and shake 12-15 times. Strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice.  Leave about 1/2 inch of room at the top and fill with ginger beer.  Garnich with a lime wedge.

A TRUE NOR' EASTER!
ENJOY!
