Red Maple

Ingredients:

Glassware: Chilled coupe

Yield

one cocktail

Method

Combine all ingredients in a shaker with crushed ice and shake. Double strain into a chilled coupe.

The bitters combined with the grapefruit created a bright red libation. Aroma of maple, citrus and funky rum. The sip melds a sweet liquoricy molasses candy with a pop of fennel/celery from the bitters. Once acclimatized the layers of overripe tropical fruits, toffee, vibrant tart grapefruit, maple wood and sap are detectable.
