This is just barely off the traditional Old Fashioned recipe, but somehow it only makes sense to pair maple syrup's rich, deep sweetness with the caramel notes of bourbon. It creates just the thing I want to sip on the last few cool evenings we have as we head towards the warmer spring and summer weather. If you want the drink just slightly less sweet mix it up with rye instead of bourbon. A dark, aged rum would make a fun variation as well.
