Take a Sip: CAN - TUCKY SMASH

I am Scottish, therefore I have a Scotch family.......until one of my cousins went to university in Kentucky, now I have a Scotch and Bourbon family (Hallelujah!)
She came up with this drink that combines 2 of my favourite things (Bourbon and maple syrup), and coined it the Can - Tucky Smash (Can for Canada, Tucky for Kentucky, Smash ,obviously cause your mixing them up) and it is fantastic!


Ingredients:
  • 1.5 ounces bourbon
  • 1 ounce good quality maple syrup
  • 1 ounce lemon juice (just use the squeeze stuff here)
  • sprig of rosemary

What to do:
  • Shake the ingredients over ice in a shaker.
  • Pour over a couple of ice cubes in a nice glass.
  • Adorn with a sprig of rosemary (it adds a little savoury flavour to the kinda sweet drink, and a whole other sense to it when you are smelling it's loveliness when taking a sip)
  • Enjoy!  ...and then enjoy some more!


Note:  When you buy the package of rosemary, and you are not going to use it all, simply freeze the rest in an airtight bag, and use when you need it!  Throughout the winter, my rosemary from this drink usually comes from the freezer.  If you haven't noticed yet, I FREEZE EVERYTHING!
