We’ve shown you how to make a Donny Boo Boo Old Fashioned before, but here’s a clever twist to it that’ll change the flavor ever so slightly… and make it perfectly legit to drink it as a brunch cocktail. Instead of sugar, use maple syrup! The maple syrup was create a really rich and darker taste to your Old Fashioned. I recommend locally made Langdon Wood maple syrup which is aged in rye barrels from Catoctin Creek distillery. Here are some additional local places to purchase it.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp maple syrup
