Tips and Notes

1. Maple syrup is better suited for winter than sugar, offering a smoother texture. Warm apple juice is optional, but it adds a more "wintery" flavor.
2. Adding a drop of vanilla bitters enhances the festive atmosphere.
3. This cocktail is on the higher alcohol content; beginners can reduce the amount of bourbon whiskey to 1.5 ounces.
