It’s finally Fall!
It may have started yesterday but today is the first full day of fall. Which means I’m making you fall in a glass.
Fun fact: my Grandma gave me these glasses from her youth and I love them deeply. Anywho, let’s get started. First we have to brûlée the oranges…
Simple enough, right? Now on to the syrup. Usually when I make a syrup I use a sugar and water along with the flavors but today I’m subbing out the sugar for maple syrup. Throw everything in a skillet and boil for about five minutes. Let cool, and it’s cocktail time.
There might be a little leg work involved with this drink but it’s worth it and once your oranges and syrup are done it’s very fast.
All you do here is throw everything in a cocktail shaker with a few ice cubes and shake, shake, shake! Then, just strain into a glass and garnish with your choice of cinnamon sticks, oranges, and/or fresh rosemary.
When it comes to the bourbon that I used, I obviously consulted MK since that’s his realm. He chose Weller Antique and it was a very good decision.
I hope you all have a fantastic first weekend in fall of 2022. Here’s to wishing it’s full of all the fall things, good drinks, and great company.
