Questions

Pro Tips

  • Don't substitute ginger ale.  It will reduce the flavor significantly.
  • Does it taste too strong?  Add more orange juice.
  • Want to use a cocktail shaker?  Put all the ingredients in, except the carbonated drink.  Shake, then strain into glass.
  • Want to make it ahead for a party?  Put all the ingredients, except the carbonated drink in a pitcher.  See notes for increased quantities.

Ingredients
 

For an Individual Drink

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ¼ cup orange juice, chilled
  • 3 tablespoons simple syrup, chilled
  • ¼ teaspoon Angostura orange bitters
  • 1 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • ½ cup Cock 'n Bull ginger beer, chilled

For the Rim & Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 lime wheel
  • 2 ice cubes

Instructions

  • Pour the water into a small bowl.  In another bowl, mix together the white sugar and cinnamon.  Dip the rim in the water, then twirl it in the sugar mixture.
  • To build the drink in the glass, carefully pour in all the ingredients except the carbonated drink.  Stir then top off with the ginger beer.  Gently stir.
  • To make the drink in a pitcher, stir together all the ingredients except the carbonated drink, and refrigerate until ready to serve.  To assemble, fill each glass half full with the  top off with ginger beer and gently stir.
  • Garnish each glass with a lime wheel and an ice cube.

Notes

  • To make this for 8 people, use 1 cup maple syrup, 2 cups orange juice, 1 ½ cup simple syrup, 2 teaspoons Angostura orange bitters, ¾ cup lime juice (from 8-10 limes), and 4 cups of ginger beer.
  • To make the simple syrup, 1 cup each of granulated sugar and water to a small pot. If you are making this for 8 people, double this amount.  Stir over medium high heat until the sugar has dissolved.  Pour into a container and cool in the freezer for 10 minutes before using.  Any leftovers can be stored in a mason jar in the fridge.
  • To make this for a small child, add more orange juice to their glass to reduce the spiciness.

    love this! but I am curious why the ratios change for making it in bulk (for instance, making 8 individual recipes would mean using a cup of maple syrup, but the bulk recipe for 8 people only uses 1/2 cup)

        For the bulk (8 person) recipe, you fixed the maple syrup conversion, but I think the simple syrup conversion should be 1.5 cups instead of 3/4 cup and the lime juice should go to 3/4 cup. Enjoyed this recipe for my teenagers!

    How is this a mocktail when it has bitters in it?

      Bitters do contain alcohol, but the amount of bitters in the drink is so small that it only adds a negligible amount of alcohol. It's like adding an alcohol-based vanilla extract to an icing--you don't consider an icing alcoholic just because it contains vanilla extract. 🙂

    The maple syrup and ginger compliment each other so well. I enjoyed the hint of citrus and the spice of the ginger beer. The color is interesting and the texture is smooth. Mint might taste good with this.

    I like the flavor of it. The color reminds me of orange juice. I like the tingle feeling on my tongue when I drink it.
