History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2013 by Charles Joly at The Aviary, Chicago, USA.

Review

Charles Joly's original recipe called for Nevan liqueur (sadly no longer made) and fresh ginger. This simplified version has a flavour reminiscent of the original combining 'made for each other flavours' in the shape of bourbon, vanilla, maple syrup, ginger and orange.

I love it, let's face it, it's good. But to me, the bourbon is taking over both Giffard liqueurs (Vanille de Madagascar & Ginger of the Indies). I might try with 1 cl for both instead of 0,75 cl...

Wonderful evening sipper. A bit sweet but the bourbon still present. The mixture of the ingredients does result in a cocktail with bourbon and chocolate overtones. Very nice.

Followed Diffords guide which has 7.5 ml maple and I loved it. Felt a equal blend . I did use Bulleit Rye so maybe that compensated well. First use of my Madagascar vanilla…wow …awesome!

I would be careful that the maple syrup doesn’t overwhelm the other flavours. I dialled it back to a scant 5ml.

Agreed! I've cut the maple syrup back to 5ml.
