Maple Bourbon Ginger Splash
- Level: Easy
- Yield: 1 serving
- Total: 5 min
- Active: 5 min
Ingredients
2 tablespoons organic maple syrup, plus more for the rim
Light brown sugar, for the rim
Ice
2 ounces bourbon
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Splash of ginger beer
Lemon twist, for garnish
Directions
- Put some maple syrup on a saucer and put some sugar on a second saucer.
- Dip the rim of a double old-fashioned glass in the syrup, then dip it in the sugar. Once the rim is all coated in sugary goodness, add a few ice cubes, and set aside.
- Now, it's time to get shakin'. Add the bourbon, maple syrup and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and do what you do best: Shake it.
- Pour the drink into the prepared glass. Add a splash of ginger beer -- I like a little sparkle in there. Stop making fun of me.
- Peel a small piece of lemon rind using a vegetable peeler. Twist the rind and toss it in the glass. Enjoy!
Cook’s Note
You can also rim the glass with a lemon wedge before dipping it in the sugar and serve the drink straight up in a martini glass.
