The Eldred

By gluttonforlife, posted 6 months ago

This cocktail may just be my answer to a classic Manhattan--in more ways than one. I invented it to celebrate our move from the city to our cottage upstate in Sullivan County. It is a simple combination of only three ingredients but they add up to a wonderful balance of sweet, tart and smoky.

Serves 1

• 2 ounces bourbon, I like Tuthilltown's Baby Bourbon
• 1 ounce maple syrup, grade B preferred
• 1 ounce fresh lemon juice

1. Combine ingredients in a shaker over ice and shake vigorously. Pour into rocks glass. Enjoy!
