Had a bit of bourbon leftover from the sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving and a new bottle of grade B maple syrup....why not? It would be even better with a glass rimmed in lemon juice and dipped in fine maple sugar. Read more It is a surprisingly delicious drink. The maple syrup stands in for any simple syrup...A piece of muddled fresh ginger adds spice and a bit of cinnamon stick as a stirrer blends it all together.. See less
