First Post!

So here's my first post. Ironically, I haven't even tried this cocktail, but the picture of it in the in-flight magazine of my pan-Atlantic voyage just looked so good I had to post it and hope someone can make it and tell me how it is!

Brown-Buttered Maple Old Fashioned
2oz Brown Butter Bourbon (Recipe Below)
1/4oz maple syrup
1 dash Xocolatl Mole bitters (I'm using Aztec Chocolate Bitters from Fee Brothers, available at Gourmet Warehouse, Modern Bartender, or Legacy Liquor Store, all in Vancouver unfortunately.)

-Mix all ingredients in a cocktail shaker (normally you would add the bitters and sugar in the glass and muddle, but because we're dealing with maple syrup you'll need the extra friction I would think.)
-Strain into an Old Fashioned glass over a two-inch cube or sphere.
-No garnish in recipe, but possibly a cinnamon stick would be a nifty addition?

Brown Buttered Bourbon
Simmer one pound of butter in a saucepan on high until the edges brown. Then, pour butter and 750ml of bourbon of your choice (Bulliet has a spicy flavour that might work well with the chocolate bitters) into a stainless steel container and freeze for 24 hours. Discard butter (that has hopefully formed a sort of hard crust on top of the bourbon) and filter the bourbon back into it's original bottle through a cheesecloth, coffee filter, or fine strainer.

Good luck and let me know how it is!
