Categories     beverage

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 good-quality maraschino cherries, such as Luxardo
1/2 ounce maple syrup
3 dashes Bacon Bitters
1/2 ounce lemon juice
2 ounces Bacon-Infused Bourbon Whiskey, recipe follows
1 lemon wedge, for garnish
8 strips bacon
2 cups bourbon whiskey

Steps:

  • Muddle the cherries, maple syrup, bitters and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker.
  • Add ice to the muddle and shake quickly to blend and coat the ice.
  • Add the Bacon-Infused Bourbon to the shaker and stir--don't shake; it will bruise the whiskey.
  • Pour into a rocks glass (don't strain; you want all that marinated ice in there). Garnish with a lemon wedge.
  • Cook the bacon until crisp. Add the bacon and its rendered fat (drippings) to a Mason jar with the bourbon. Freeze until the fat has solidified, then remove top fat layer. Strain the bourbon into another Mason jar or sealable container and put back in the freezer. Repeat the last step once or twice more, finishing by straining through a fine-mesh sieve lined with damp cheesecloth. Use immediately or keep refrigerated in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • For a balanced flavor, use equal parts maple syrup, bourbon, and lemon juice.
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice will provide the best flavor.
  • Use a good quality maple syrup for the best results.
  • Garnish the cocktail with a lemon twist or a maple leaf for a festive touch.
  • Serve the cocktail chilled for a refreshing experience.
  • Experiment with different types of bourbon to find your favorite combination.

Conclusion:

The Maple Leaf cocktail is a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you are a fan of maple syrup or bourbon, you are sure to enjoy this classic cocktail. So next time you are looking for a new drink to try, give the Maple Leaf cocktail a try.
