An Old Fashioned is a classic cocktail that never goes out of fashion – as the name suggests. Sugar is traditionally used to sweeten this drink. However, maple syrup brings an extra depth of flavour that I personally love. Maple syrup provides the necessary sweetness but also gives the drink an earthy note that complements the orange aroma beautifully.
