Author Notes

I love using maple syrup in a cocktail because it does double duty as both a sweetener and a flavoring agent. This wintry riff on a classic gimlet is rounded out by the maple syrup and botanical NOLET’S Silver Gin (think: peach, rose, and raspberry), with just the right whiff of spice from the star anise garnish. —Irene Yoo

This cocktail is excellent. I used Whitley Neill Blackberry gin. It is perfectly balanced - make sure to shake until ice cold for the absolute best imbibing. Cheers!

That Gimlet recipe is very similar to bee's knees, perhaps my favorite sweet cocktail. I will have to try. Plus cardamom works well with bee's knees, but vodka does not. (I had both at a now closed Seattle restaurant that had phenomenal food and superb invented drinks. Alas this one was a loser.)
