Equipment

  • Old fashioned glass
  • Bar spoon
  • Jigger
  • Ice cubes

Ingredients

  • 2 oz gin London dry preferred
  • 0.5 oz pure maple syrup not pancake syrup
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • ice cubes large cubes recommended
  • orange peel for garnish

Instructions

  • Pour the gin, maple syrup, and Angostura bitters into your old fashioned glass.
  • Add a few big ice cubes.
  • Stir gently with your bar spoon for about 20 seconds to chill and mix.
  • Slice a strip of orange peel, twist it over the drink to release oils, then drop it in as garnish.

Notes

Use real maple syrup for the best flavor. London dry gin keeps it crisp, but try a floral gin for variety. Upping the bitters adds more depth. Always garnish with orange peel for that bright aroma.
