Make it a maple old fashioned holiday

The holidays are the perfect time to enjoy a festive drink to toast family and friends, and this maple bourbon old-fashioned recipe sweetens the classic whiskey libation with pure maple syrup and pairs perfectly with holiday treats.

Make it your signature holiday cocktail by choosing a quality bourbon for an extra smooth taste, and don’t skip the orange peel. That twist of orange is more than a garnish: The essential oils in the peel add flavor and a heady holiday aroma.

For a special touch, serve in sparkling crystal double old-fashioned glasses, and add a Luxardo maraschino cherry.
