Cocktail Description
A liquid dessert that captures the essence of autumn in the Caribbean, the Maple Cacao Oldie transforms aged Jamaican rum into something truly special.
This sophisticated cocktail balances the deep vanilla and oak notes of Appleton Estate 8 Year Reserve with the rich sweetness of maple syrup and a delicate chocolate backdrop from white crème de cacao. The result is a silky, medium-bodied sipper with a complex flavor profile that evolves as the ice slowly melts in your glass. Perfect for cool evenings or as an after-dinner drink, this cocktail makes an excellent alternative to more common rum classics. Despite its complex flavors, it's surprisingly straightforward to prepare—just stir, strain, and garnish with a cinnamon stick that adds both visual appeal and aromatic depth with each sip. The Maple Cacao Oldie pairs beautifully with desserts featuring dark chocolate, toasted nuts, or caramel, but also complements savory dishes like spice-rubbed pork or duck with fruit compote.
