Spring has rolled in and Easter signals that it really is time to shift gears. Time to leave “winter” behind and look toward spring rolling in. With the recent celebration of Passover and now Easter, it’s definitely a time to look forward, and let’s toast to the coming of sunshine and warmer temperatures (even if it hasn’t happened yet, it will be rolling around!)
We all want great cocktails and sips for holidays and our casual spring to summer weekends. Why not these fabulous drinks?

Maple Old Fashioned Courtesy of Crown Maple Syrup
For this cocktail, you need a great maple syrup and Crown is the place to get not one– but 3 flavors of maple syrup and get something that’s so pristine that you will die realizing that Mrs. Butterworth’s isn’t remotely close to maple syrup!

RECIPE
Ingredients:
1.5 part Maker’s Mark Bourbon (the brand’s recommendation)
(My suggestion is to pull out a Maker’s Mark bottle you don’t usually share with anyone else and SHARE IT. Kill the bottle with this cocktail! Make it worth the time)
.25 part Crown Maple Syrup
3-4 dashes Angostura Bitters
Making it work:
Pour the first two ingredients into a mixing glass (not a drinking glass) over ice and stir till well-blended.
You don’t want the syrup getting all gloppy!
Then pour in the bitters and stir again!
Pour into your rock’s glass and sip happily!!
Garnish with crisp bacon!

I highly recommend buying some. Think about buying more than you need because you will love it and also you can give it as a gift
Thanks to all these great brands and spirits for sharing their cocktail recipes with me for Easter as well as weekend celebrations!!
