Couple of the guys I hunt with make their own, but nobody will share the recipe.
Or recommend a good store-bought variety...
now a days I stick with Kesslers and water, smooth as silk.............
3 parts cherry syrup 1+ part blood orange bitters couple squirts of lime juice couple dashes of worcestershire
Haven't tried it with the brandy and splash of soda yet, but I think its a winner.
Thanks all for your suggestions -- and good luck this weekend!
i use a pint glass ( saves the extra trips
)
ice... three fingers of canadian club...
three dashes bitters we use fresca for sour, gives it a little extra taste
the secrect for us is we use about 1-2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup
orange for garnish
and take a slice a lemon around the rim
after you ad the maple syrup , stir it a bit to mix or it will sink to the bottom
.................................... then repeat oh i don't know 4 or 5 times
Sometimes I use bar sugar, it comes in a canister and foams better.
My Dad used to do the same as above but started with a sugar cube drenched with the bitters. He'd then crush it, add the ice cubes and booze and then froth up the mix as he poured in the soda. It had a nice frothy feel to it but I'm not into sweet stuff so much.
