Ingredients
  

  • 2 ounces Canadian Rye Whisky
  • 1/2 ounce maple syrup or more to taste
  • 3-4 dashes angostura bitters

  • 1 cherry optional

Instructions
 

  • In a short glass, add the maple syrup and whisky and stir until the maple syrup has dissolved completely.
  • Add a few dashes of angostura bitters and give it a quick stir.
  • Add a large ice cube to the glass and stir for 40 seconds, or until the glass becomes cold to the touch and the drink is sufficiently chilled.
  • Twist the orange peel over the glass to release the oil and drop into the drink.  Serve with a cherry if desired.  Enjoy responsibly!!
