Too sweet. The maple syrup overpowers the bourbon. I think that must be why the Kentucky Waffle adds the cider. I guess I could have bothered to make maple simple syrup but I'm on a tight schedule of getting hammered.
If you just subbed the maple syrup for the honey syrup in the gold rush, I would imagine that would be the case.
Why not both?
It sounds like a fun party drink for sure but to me those kind of drinks always work best in a small dose. Just my opinion.Why not both?
Seriously, I questioned it and I’m sure most purist cocktail drinkers will probably hate it. I was skeptical myself but I love watching H2D and he raved about how delicious this was. And he’s right. I’d never make this on a regular basis but for a party it’s a fun thing to try as a one off. Nose is totally like drinking the leftover milk from your cereal bowl and then taste is same with a bourbon punch finish. It’s damn tasty.
I am sure there is something really tasty to be made with Aperol and Gin as well as Aperol and bourbon.
Paper Planes are really popular with this crowd. There’s a Tiki drink that I’ve had which is good - Bird of Paradise.
Yep, don't think I have ever made a Paper Plane myself but a place by me has them on their menu and I can vouch for it.
Same Anyway for the question, I am sure if you took bourbon, Aperol and sweet vermouth it would work out pretty well. Build it like Boulevardier, right?
So many things, but I go through bottles regularly just due to my high intake of paper planes / naked and famous
Cuba libres typically call for white rum, but you won’t find much of that on the higher end (if any). Flor de Cana (dark) is about $50 and awesome.
We’ve been down at the beach all week - I’m planning to make either peach margaritas or daiquiris tonight.

Going to have a few of these tonight. First one was a little sweet so will do as you mentioned and cut the simple syrup on the next.
They’re sneaky with the Pama and the bourbon. Let me know how you like it or if you make any additional adjustments!
If you do it first let me know what you come up with. It’s on the shopping list for the next time my wife gets groceries so I’ll try to come up with something in the next couple of weeks.
I haven’t tried jalapeno simple syrup, but I will give that a try. I’m a fan of Tanteo Jalapeno Tequila in my margaritas, which may have similar effect.
It actually warmed back up again here and I’ll try to squeeze one more weekend of grilling and beer and sun out of 2020. But more fall cocktails will come.
