This comforting whisky cocktail boasts rich maple sweetness balanced by nutty pecan notes and a subtle warmth from bitters. It's a sophisticated and cozy choice, perfect for a contemplative evening.
Add bourbon, maple syrup, pecan simple syrup, and Angostura bitters to a mixing glass.
Fill the mixing glass with large ice cubes.
💡 Use fresh, clear ice for optimal chilling and minimal dilution.
Stir the mixture for approximately 30-45 seconds until well-chilled and perfectly diluted.
💡 Stir until the outside of the mixing glass feels very cold.
Strain the cocktail into a chilled rocks glass over a large, fresh ice cube.
Garnish with a toasted pecan and a carefully expressed orange peel.
💡 Twist the orange peel over the drink to release its essential oils before placing it in the glass.
🍸 For an enhanced pecan flavor, lightly toast the pecans before making your pecan simple syrup, then strain well.
The deep, complex sweetness of maple syrup and the earthy richness of pecan syrup perfectly complement the vanilla and oak notes of bourbon, while aromatic bitters add depth and structure.
