Start by adding ice to a mixing glass. Pour in 2 oz of non-alcoholic whiskey, 1 oz of maple syrup, and a few dashes of bitters.

Stir the mixture well until it’s nice and chilled. This helps blend the flavors together.

Next, strain the drink into a rocks glass over a large ice cube. The big ice cube keeps your drink cold without watering it down too fast.

For a fancy touch, cut a thin strip of orange peel. Twist it over the drink to release the oils, then rub it around the rim of the glass.

Finally, drop the orange peel into your drink as a garnish. You can also add a cherry if you like.

Your maple pecan old fashioned is ready to enjoy! Sip slowly and savor the rich, sweet flavors.

Tips, Tricks & Storing

Make your maple pecan old fashioned extra special with these tips:

• Use high-quality maple syrup for the best flavor. Pure maple syrup works better than artificial versions.

• Toast the pecans before adding them to enhance their nutty taste.

• Chill your glasses in the freezer for about 15 minutes before serving. This keeps your drink colder longer.

To create a frothy texture, shake the drink vigorously with ice before straining into glasses.

Try these fun variations:

  • Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg for a cozy fall twist
  • Use almond extract instead of vanilla for a different nutty flavor
  • Swap pecans for walnuts or almonds

You can make a big batch ahead of time for parties. Mix all ingredients except ice and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
