1-2 shots bourbon – I use Split Rock
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup – Find maple syrup aged in bourbon casks (Split Rock has in stock)
Or, you can use Runamok Maple Cocktail Syrup (Maple Old Fashion) to give the drink a smoky flavor.
4-6 oz hot water
2-4 spritz orange bitters or smoked citrus bitters (Split Rock)
Lemon slice garnish
one or two cloves
Stir well
1/2 small lemon or 1/3 large lemon squeezed
Adjust bourbon to pain, maple syrup to sweetness and the rest to taste. Enjoy!
