Glass: Old-Fashioned Glass Ingredients: - 2 oz Bourbon - 0.5 oz Maple Syrup - 2 dashes Angostura Bitters - 2 dashes Orange Bitters - 1 small sprig of rosemary - Ice sphere or large ice cube - Orange peel twist, for garnish - Rosemary sprig, for garnish Instructions: 1. Begin by chilling the old-fashioned glass. Fill it with ice and set it aside while you prepare the cocktail. 2. In a mixing glass, combine the bourbon, maple syrup, Angostura bitters, and orange bitters. 3. Add the sprig of rosemary to the mixing glass. Using a muddler, gently press the rosemary to release its aromatic oils, being careful not to break the sprig. 4. Fill the mixing glass with ice, then stir the mix for about 30 seconds, chilling and slightly diluting the ingredients. 5. Discard the ice from the old-fashioned glass, and place an ice sphere or large ice cube in the center. 6. Strain the cocktail over the ice sphere or cube into the old-fashioned glass. 7. Express the oil of an orange peel twist over the glass, then rim the edge with the peel before dropping it into the drink. 8. Garnish with a fresh sprig of rosemary. The Arctic Explorer is not just a cocktail; it's a statement. Its smoky aroma intertwined with the freshness of rosemary and citrus creates a multisensory experience, perfect for the man who enjoys the essence of the wilderness and the depth of a well-crafted bourbon.
