I call it the Smokey Canadian Old Fashioned. Not sure if it’s already a standard recipe with a different name.
It’s similar to an old fashioned, but with a few minor changes. Start with maple syrup, about 1/4 oz. or roughly 1/2 tbsp (I think that’s the conversion, off the top of my head). Add 1-2 drops of liquid smoke. Then add about 2 dashes of bitters. I like Dillon’s orange bitters, which I believe is Canadian. Stir. Add ice, and about 2 oz. Canadian rye whisky.
This might be blasphemous for some, but I happen to love it, and my dad made a great one for me. I think he used Wiser’s 10 year old triple barrel if anyone is curious.
Whiskey, sweet vermouth, a dash of bitters
This made me want to go shopping
