Maple syrup season is in full swing (YES, there is a maple syrup season!); and New York City mixologist and cocktail consultant – Duane Fernandez, Jr. – has transferred this seasonal delight to the cocktail glass.
Setting trends on the NYC bar scene everyday; Duane’s most recent libation,available at D Bar in Chelsea, is the Maple Madness (Flor de Caña rum complemented by a dash of maple syrup and liquid smoke, making this cocktail strong, serious and just a little sweet)!

.5 oz. Maple Syrup
2 Dashes Liquid Smoke
Smoked Salt
Salt rim of small rocks glass.
Add Flor de Caña, maple syrup, and liquid smoke to shaker.

Smooooking! LOL Another great way to enjoy Maple Syrup. We just had a MapleFest this weekend so we’re in full maple mode — maple cheese, maple sausage, maple wine, maple tarts… It was a great weekend of testing.
