The Campfire Maple Old Fashioned brings a little more depth and warmth to a familiar classic, pairing the structure of whiskey, bitters, and orange with just enough maple to round the edges without making the drink feel sweet or heavy. It still drinks like an Old Fashioned first, but the added smoke and natural richness make it feel more atmospheric and slightly more indulgent, especially when served over a large cube in a sturdy rocks glass.
Smoke, Maple, Citrus
2 oz Koopers Family Rye Whiskey
0.25–0.5 oz pure maple syrup
2 dashes aromatic bitters
1 dash orange or chocolate bitters (optional)
Orange peel
Optional: wood chip or smoking gun for aroma
Stir Koopers Family Rye Whiskey, maple syrup, and bitters with ice until chilled and smooth. Strain into a rocks glass over a large cube. Express the orange peel over the drink, run it around the rim, then drop it in. For extra smoke, briefly smoke the empty glass before pouring.
