The "Grade A" Old-Fashioned


In one of the greatest uses of boiled tree sap, I give you a terrific drink recipe. Adapted from a recipe from renowned mixologist Jonny Raglin, it's everything a cocktail should be.

Makes one drink

1 lemon peel
1/4 oz grade A maple syrup
2 dashes Angostura bitters
1/4 oz water
2 oz Rye whiskey (I use Redemption)
Ice

In an old-fashioned glass, muddle the lemon peel with maple syrup and bitters. Add the water, rye, and ice. Stir gently and serve. Repeat as necessary.
