The sap is running wild in the maple woods of the North East so this week we’re making cocktails with the sweet and delicious taste of maple syrup.
This drink recipe comes from the bar at Char No 4, Brooklyn’s home of American Whiskey with 150 types on hand for your enjoyment. Their twist on the Dark & Stormy is like a south meeting north in a perfect storm in your glass.

Preparation
Combine the bourbon, lime juice and maple syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake 10-12 times. Strain and pour over ice in a rocks glass. Add a splash of ginger beer on top and garnish with a lime wheel.

Happy Birthday to us, happy birthday to us, happy birt… well you now it goes after that. It’s August 16 and that means we’re one-whole year old today. Its been a wild year. We started Madtini as a way to accompany our Sunday night Mad Men viewings. When Season 3 ended we all looked at each other and said, ‘OK, now what?’ Then we poured a few vodka martinis, life began making sense again, and we moved forward.
We’ve made drinks for Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day, Christmas, the Vancouver Winter Games, Cinco de Mayo, Caribana and many more events. We attended great tasting events and met dozens of cool new Madtini friends.
We’re looking forward to even more fun, laughs and of course drinks during year number 2.
