Maple Bourbon Smash with Cheese Pairings
Maple Bourbon Smash with Cheese Pairings
A sweet, smoky citrus cocktail
A classic bourbon or whiskey smash is simple cocktail made with fresh lemon and simple syrup--sometimes, maple syrup is added to give it some depth of flavor and sticky sweetness, which is what we’ve done here. The richness of the maple cuts through the smokiness of the bourbon, and the lemon adds a touch of bright citrus to create a blend of intense, refreshing flavor with a hint of sweetness. For cheese pairings, we love smoked cheeses or bold, butterscotch-infused selections.
