Maple Bourbon Smash
2 ounces bourbon
1 tablespoon apple butter*
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 dashes Angostura bitters
club soda, to taste
apple wheel, for garnish
Add all ingredients except soda to a cocktail shaker along with a few cubes of ice and shake vigorously to chill. Fill a highball glass with ice and pour bourbon mixture over it. Top with soda and garnish with apple wheel. Makes 1.
*The apple butter adds pulp to the cocktail, which can be removed by straining, if you prefer.Â
