This is a better cocktail than the similar but honey-sweetened De Rigueur Cocktail, as unless you have a very full-bodied honey, maple syrup's 'tang' sits...
Unpopular opinion, I think, but I like this with honey. My partner prefers with maple syrup. So I make two versions whenever we choose this cocktail. According to a previous comment I should be trying the gold rush instead. It’s in my ‘must try’ list that has gotten way too long but I’ll get there. I feel like a kid in a candy store on this website.
