Notes

Pro Tips
A few small habits can make a simple drink taste cleaner and smoother. These help the drink shine even more.
  • Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor.
  • Fresh lemon juice adds a brighter, more refreshing taste.
  • Chill your glass before serving.
  • Use a large ice cube to slow down the dilution process.
  • Taste before serving and adjust sweetness.
  • Shake instead of stirring for a lighter texture.
  • Add a tiny pinch of salt if the drink tastes too sweet.
  • Try a smoked bourbon if you like a deeper flavor.
Have fun testing little tweaks until the drink feels personal to you.
