Quick Cocktail to Try Tonight
-
2 oz Mad Moose Whiskey
-
Ice
-
Orange peel
Stir over ice and finish with the orange peel.
When a bottle sits on the shelf unopened, it never has the chance to show what it can really do. Mad Moose was designed to be approachable, and one of the things I appreciate most about it is how easily it turns into a proper cocktail with almost no effort.
Mad Moose opens up quickly in the glass because the flavour profile is already well structured and distinctly Canadian. Notes of oak and lapsang bring a gentle smokiness, layered with warming spices and a touch of maple sweetness. Served over ice, those elements soften and round out, creating a drink that feels composed.
No complicated build. No specialty ingredients. Just one addition that turns a simple pour into a cocktail.
Mad Moose also works exceptionally well in an Old Fashioned when paired with another whiskey-style alternative like Kentucky 74 or Sober Spirits. The combination creates more structure and depth, especially when finished with orange bitters and citrus oils.
If you purchased the bottle last week and haven’t opened it yet, tonight is a good time to start.
Pour it over ice first. Then try the maple version.
You might find it becomes your easiest go-to cocktail at home.
