Cocktail Description
A crimson twist on the classic daiquiri that balances sweet maple depth with bitter Italian aperitivo punch.
The Maple Grove Daiquiri combines the clean, grassy notes of white rum with Campari's distinctive bitter orange profile, while real maple syrup adds rich complexity without cloying sweetness. Each sip starts with bright lime acidity that evolves into a fascinating interplay between the earthy sweetness of maple and Campari's pleasant bitterness. This cocktail shines during transition seasons—perfect for early autumn evenings or the first hints of spring. Home bartenders can master this drink with minimal effort as long as they employ the distinctive "throwing" technique (pouring between mixing tins rather than shaking). The Maple Grove pairs wonderfully with savory fare like roasted duck, aged cheeses, or anything featuring bacon, as the cocktail's sweetness and acidity cut through rich foods while its bitter elements refresh the palate.
