What kind of cocktail do you make when you have an abundance of
citrus and a growler of maple syrup….try a new cocktail.
This is a spin-off of the Maple Leaf cocktail that replaces
lemon juice with fresh squeezed orange juice.
The original Maple Leaf is believed to have
first appeared in The Artistry of Mixing Drinks by Frank Meier and has had
several adaptations since its publication in 1936. While the original version is hard to beat- the Orange Maple Leaf was pretty delicious. Especially this time of year when oranges are abundant and lemons are a bit pricier.
Orange Maple Leaf
2 oz Rye
2 tsp maple syrup
½ oz fresh squeezed orange juice
Shake all ingredients over ice. Serve with an orange peel garnish.
