Acer cocktail
Continuing my moody/cozy nightcap cocktail series inspired by songs I can’t get out of my head.
Maple Syrup by The Backseat Lovers — I’ve been listening to this song for months, and particularly love the last section that you hear in the video. The crescendo of energy is snakes through inspired the spontaneity of the ingredients I chose.
While the title provided a key ingredient, the others were spur of the moment. Scotch, spiced pear, orange blossom, lemon, and absinthe were all choices in a ‘f*** it, this sounds good’ kinda attitude.
I wanted something seasonal, but complex—and this delivered.
