I call it the Smokey Canadian Old Fashioned. Not sure if it’s already a standard recipe with a different name.

It’s similar to an old fashioned, but with a few minor changes. Start with maple syrup, about 1/4 oz. or roughly 1/2 tbsp (I think that’s the conversion, off the top of my head). Add 1-2 drops of liquid smoke. Then add about 2 dashes of bitters. I like Dillon’s orange bitters, which I believe is Canadian. Stir. Add ice, and about 2 oz. Canadian rye whisky.

This might be blasphemous for some, but I happen to love it, and my dad made a great one for me. I think he used Wiser’s 10 year old triple barrel if anyone is curious.

    I can’t believe you omit the Angostura. I never miss an opportunity to put it in stuff lol

      Normally, I’d wholeheartedly agree but the whole maple syrup/Canadian rye/Canadian bitters keeps in theme. 🍁 Maybe float a slice of back bacon on top…never mind.
