FRIDAY COCKTAIL - MAPLE BOURBON SMASH!

(Again my blog will not upload photos)



Love Maple Syrup!  Trying my hand at a maple-brined pork tenderloin for the game on Sunday and thought how great this would be as a pre-dinner/game cocktail!  This recipe comes from Madava Farms - Maple Syrup farmers in Dover Plains, NY.  It is a twist on an Old Fashioned


Ingredients:
1/2 oz pure maple syrup (preferably dark amber)
1/2 oz fresh orange juice
1/4 oz fresh lemon juice
4 dashes Angostura bitters
slice of an orange
2 oz bourbon
ice
1-1/2 oz chilled seltzer

In a rocks glass combine syrup, juices and bitters.  Add the slice of orange and mudle lightly.  Add the bourbon and stir well.  Fill the glass with ice and top with seltzer.

GO PATS!
ENJOY!
