Some Bourbon, Lemon Juice, And A Tilde

There’s a cocktail in The PDT Cocktail Book that uses maple syrup, maraschino and a jalapeño which is awesome. The Little Bit Country (page 167) tastes complex in a way that you’d feel happy paying $15 for: eight parts bourbon, three parts lemon juice, two parts maple syrup, one part maraschino, a small slice of jalapeño, one dash Angostura and one dash orange bitters. I suppose it’s like a complex-tasting sour or something. I’d probably avoided it in the past in part not because of the jalapeño, which we have growing out back (all the flower shops sell pepper plants of some sort and jalapeños grow well and are super useful, at least when you remember they’re out back) but rather the maraschino, which I like the taste of but Jen doesn’t. It turns out that the maraschino is actually very subtle (unlike, say, a Fancy Free). I already knew I’d like the jalapeño because every time I order a cocktail with it I end up loving the flavor.
