2. 2. Place peel in bottom of mixing glass, pour over maple syrup, dash bitters and muddle for 15 seconds.
3. 3. Add Ice and Whisky then stir for 15 seconds.
4. 4. If in rocks glass have the glass half filled with ice and then strain ingredients in. If in a coupe use the same method without ice.

6. NOTE: this method is for high volume fast pace restaurants. If you decide to use the recipe but have more time for drinks to he made you could consider smoking the cocktail with a dome and maple chips. It elevates the drink to a entire new level plus you can charge an extra 5 dollars or so without the guest thinking its over priced due to the experience of opening the dome in front of them while serving.
