Canadian Maple Sour, anyone?

We fell in love on Valentine’s Day – with this great cocktail recipe from the team at 64 Degrees restaurant in Brighton (www.64degrees.co.uk).

They have created it for the day, but there’s no reason why it can’t be enjoyed year-round:

Take two parts bourbon, one part maple (Canadian, of course), one part lemon juice and a dash of bitters. Shake and strain.

Enjoy.

Canadian Maple Sour

Did you know?

Québec exports its maple products to more than 50 countries

Everywhere it goes, consumers of all ages appreciate maple’s unique flavour.

Scientists are studying maple’s potential health benefits

Studies now underway include those on the antioxidant properties of the polyphenols naturally present in maple syrup, with a recent study indicating that maple syrup is better for cardiometabolic health than refined sugar.

Maple syrup can be used as a sugar substitute in most recipes

In cake and most dessert recipes, for each 250ml (1 cup) of syrup used, simply reduce the stipulated amount of liquid (water, milk, juice, etc.) by 60ml (1/4 cup).
