Cocktail Description
The Maple Tawny Twist transforms a humble vodka martini into a sumptuous, dessert-worthy indulgence that still maintains its sophisticated edge.
This elegant cocktail marries the clean, crisp foundation of Ketel One vodka with the rich, nutty complexity of Graham's 20 Year Old Aged Tawny Port, while a touch of maple syrup adds a smooth sweetness that ties everything together. Your first sip reveals layers of dried fruit, toasted nuts, and subtle oak from the port, balanced by the maple's warm sweetness and the vodka's clean finish. It's surprisingly simple to make despite its complex flavor profile—just shake, strain, and garnish with an orange twist that adds a bright aromatic note to each sip. The Maple Tawny Twist shines as an after-dinner cocktail, perfect for cool autumn evenings or as the finishing touch to a special celebration dinner. Pair it with dark chocolate desserts, aged cheeses, or spiced nuts to complement its rich, nuanced character.
