Old Fashioned lovers, this one’s for you—just better. The Maple Butter Old Fashioned is a luxurious twist on the classic, with the richness of browned butter melting into the warmth of rye whiskey and the sweetness of maple. It’s a Thanksgiving feast in a glass, perfect for savoring while you’re reflecting on the meal.
Extra Twist:
For an even bolder flavor, flame your orange peel before adding it to the glass. You can also serve the drink alongside a mini side dish of toasted pecans to munch on between sips for a buttery, nutty pairing.
