History

The choice of whisky coupled with maple syrup suggests a Canadian connection. Grapefruit freshens while maple syrup adds deep, flavourful richness.

This cocktail is adapted from a drink featured on the menu of the Dragonfly Cocktail Bar in Edinburgh, Scotland, between 2015 and 2018. A fellow Discerning Drinker, Charl Engela, brought it to attention via a comment on the Maple Old Fashioned page.
