This is an interesting take on an Old Fashioned. Most Old Fashioned are “spirit forward” – which is why some form of whiskey – Bourbon, Rye or even Brandy is used to make it. Gins, Rums or Vodkas just would not have the muscle strength to carry an Old Fashioned. On the other hand, a Genever can (the aging process gives it a distinct edge and character).

The recipe calls for maple syrup (instead of your simple syrup), standard bitters and citrus peels.

Came thru very well.
