  • Instructions
  • Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and equipment. Fresh ingredients yield the best flavor, so opt for fresh lemons and pure maple syrup.
  • Mix the Cocktail:
  • In a cocktail shaker, combine the bourbon, fresh lemon juice, and maple syrup.
  • Fill the shaker with ice cubes, about halfway.
  • Shake it Up:
  • Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This chilling process helps meld the flavors together.
  • Serve:
  • Fill a glass with ice cubes.
  • Strain the cocktail mixture into the glass.
  • Top off with club soda for that refreshing fizz.
  • Garnish:
  • Add a lemon slice and a few mint leaves on top for a pop of color and aroma.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy your Maple Bourbon Fizz!
  • Variations
  • Maple Bourbon Fizz with a Twist: Substitute bourbon with rye whiskey for a spicier flavor.
  • Herbal Infusion: Muddle some fresh basil or thyme in the shaker before adding the other ingredients for an herbal note.
  • Maple Ginger Fizz: Add ginger beer instead of club soda for a zesty kick.
  • Tips and Substitutions
  • Bourbon Alternatives: If bourbon isn’t your thing, try using dark rum or scotch for different flavor profiles.
  • Sweetness Adjustment: For those who prefer less sweetness, reduce the amount of maple syrup to ½ oz.
  • Low-Calorie Option: Use sugar-free maple syrup or simply skip it for a lighter drink.
  • Soda Alternative: Swap club soda with sparkling water for a similar fizz without added sugars.
