How to Make Homemade Maple Syrup Old Fashioned
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of bourbon or whiskey (adjust to your preferred sweetness and alcohol content).
- Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to create a thick syrup.
- Remove from heat and let the syrup cool slightly.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of pure maple extract (or more, to taste).
- Once completely cool, pour the maple syrup into a clean bottle for storage (a vintage-style bottle adds a nice touch!).
- To make a single cocktail, place 2 oz Bourbon or Whiskey in an Old Fashioned glass, add 1-2 oz of the maple syrup, a dash of bitters, and a large ice cube. Gently stir to combine. Garnish with an orange peel twist, and enjoy!
