I named this the Autumn Sunshine Cocktail because its flavor is bright like the sun, but the maple syrup, for some reason, reminds me of burning leaves in the autumn. It is definitely the color of autumn! For a clearer, more pungent cocktail, try stirring instead of shaking.
Ingredients
- 6 ices cubes
- 2 fluids ounces bourbon
- 1 fluid ounce maple syrup
- 1 fluid ounce brandy-based orange liqueur , such as Grand Marnier
- 1 clementine , juiced and peel cut into 1x1/4-inch strips
- ½ lemon , juiced
Instructions
-
1
Place ice cubes in a shaker. Pour in bourbon, maple syrup, orange liqueur, clementine juice, and lemon juice. Cover the shaker and shake until the outside of the shaker has frosted, about 15 seconds. Strain into a chilled martini glass.

Light a match or lighter over cocktail and squeeze 1 strip of clementine peel near the flame to flame the oil. Rub peel on the rim of the martini glass and drop peel into cocktail.

The Best Baked Ziti
Simply the best baked ziti recipe. I am half Italian, was raised eating the finest Italian-American cuisine, and have filmed almost 2,000 recipe videos, so when you consider all of those facts, it seems incredible that I have never posted a video for baked ziti. Hopefully I make up for that long wait by posting what I think is the best version of it.
