Instructions

The "Smoky Maple Bourbon Embrace" is a sophisticated and nuanced cocktail that marries the boldness of bourbon with the subtle sweetness of maple syrup, rounded out by the depth of bitters and the faintest hint of cherry. This drink is perfect for those who appreciate the complexities of a well-crafted bourbon cocktail without an overpowering sweetness. This cocktail is designed to highlight the smoky elements of the bourbon while maintaining a balanced profile. **Ingredients:** - 2 oz Smoky Bourbon (preferably one with a rich, full-bodied flavor) - 1/2 oz Pure Maple Syrup (adjust to taste, but start conservatively to keep it from being too sweet) - 2 dashes of Aromatic Bitters (Angostura or a similar brand) - 1 dash of Orange Bitters - 1 Maraschino Cherry (for garnish, could also be a brandied cherry for a more nuanced flavor) - 1 Orange Peel (for garnish) - Ice cubes (preferably large cubes that melt slowly) **Instructions:** 1. In a mixing glass, combine the bourbon and maple syrup. Stir until well incorporated. 2. Add the aromatic bitters and orange bitters to the mixture. 3. Fill the mixing glass with large ice cubes and stir the cocktail for about 30 seconds to chill it without over diluting. 4. Strain the mixture into a chilled Old Fashioned glass over a single large ice cube to maintain the integrity of the cocktail. 5. Run the orange peel around the rim of the glass to add a hint of citrus aroma and then twist it over the drink to express its oils. 6. Drop the maraschino cherry into the glass as the finishing touch. 7. Optional: For a hint of smokiness, you can flame the orange peel or briefly ignite a spritz of high-proof alcohol above the glass to caramelize the top notes
