My first mix was as written; very good. Second try I "Vermonted" it up a bit and used Barr Hill Kingdom Strenghth Tom Cat Gin. The gin gives a hint of pine to the citrus and maple. I served in a Simon Pearce rocks glass.

Delightful cocktail; like orange juice for adults without being overly sweet. The maple syrup marvelously plays very well against the gin and citrus.

Excellent. Has the subtle herbal notes paired with the spice and citrus. Maple adds sweetness and some warm smoky notes.
Using local tree ripened oranges, did find it a tad too sweet as our orange juice is very sweet. Would reduce the maple syrup next time. Great aperitif.

Balance is everything - and this has it!

amazing drink, cant wait to double the maple syrup and see what happens ;)

This is surprisingly good—much better than you might think from looking at the recipe. I am not normally a huge fan of Angostura, but it works really well here. Would it be considered bad form to have a second helping?

A very refreshing aperitif, and simple to make. Many more to come I'm sure. Thanks!

Just served it on this very Christmas Eve. In one word: Perfect!
