A lot of commenters think this cocktail is too sweet, but I liked it even though I wondered if a little less maple syrup would be an improvement. I've seen it described as a brunch cocktail, and those tend to be on the sweeter side. I didn't have this cocktail on my radar screen, because I've had it with honey syrup and wasn't bowled over. (There's no reason to make the honey version instead of a Gold Rush unless you're out of lemons, really.) This version with maple syrup is better.
