I named this cocktail Autumn Sunshine because its flavor is bright, like the sun, but the maple syrup, for some reason, reminds me of burning leaves in the autumn. It is definitely the color of autumn! For a clearer, more pungent cocktail, stir instead of shaking.

We too loved this after trying it. It is very similar to our favorite drink a "Sidecar". We altered the recipe to be 1:1 orange liqueur and small batch bourbon. We couldn't get the clementine peel to do anything with a flame so abandoned that part. The rest is spot on. It was so good we made it in 64 ounce batches for Thanksgiving! It keeps well pre-mixed and stored in the fridge for several days making it super easy to have on hand. Read More

This bourbon based cocktail was delicious and easy! I added a half ounce apple cider as well to give it an even more autumn flavor. I will be making this again this fall for date nights with my wife. Read More

Sublime! The first time, I didn't have any clementines, but the cocktail stands very well on its own with just the other ingredients. Having the clementine puts it over the top, though! I wasn't really sure how to do the flaming peel thing, without three hands. I'm just glad l made it throught the effort without lighting my fingers on fire, or worse, dropping the match into the cocktail. I'm no bartender. Can't wait for the covid plague to be over and done, so I can have friends over to impress with this. Read More
