Warm Up To Bourbon
Pairing a Southern Staple with Green Mountain Favorites
You’ll want to use a good-quality ginger beer rather than ginger ale, whose sugariness will overpower the subtle maple flavor. Think spicy winter tang, not summery sweetness.
Ingredients
SERVINGS: 1 Serving(s)
- 1½ ounces straight bourbon
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 4½ ounces ginger beer
Instructions
In a highball glass, combine the bourbon, lime juice and maple syrup, stirring gently to dissolve the syrup. Add the ginger beer and some ice, then garnish with a slice of lime.
