I'm trying to whip up something interesting and seasonal for a Halloween get-together tomorrow. I just received a bunch of maple syrup has a gift.

I'm thinking about doing some bourbon/maple combination. I'd prefer to stay away from something overly sweet and sour.

Any suggestions on what to do?

Make a ‘shrub’ out of the syrup.

Could add figs to it too.



You could also make/buy a coffee bitters to go with that.

I'm not one for overly-sweet cocktails so I'd say save the maple syrup for pancakes and just make old-fashioneds. Manhattans would be nice as well with this cool weather coming in.
