My Amber Road was delicious. The bourbon comes through, the Aperol lends its distinct burnt orange sweetness, the lemon balanced that sweetness nicely without being overly sour, and the soda makes the drink longer, lighter, and more refreshing. The single dash of Angostura and maple syrup didn't really come through on their own but I think they added to the depth of the drink. The Amber Road (along with the Bufala Negra) is a great summery bourbon cocktail.
Amber Road
- 1 1/2 ounces bourbon (Filibuster Dual Cask)
- 1 ounce Aperol
- 1/2 ounce lemon juice
- 1/4 ounce maple syrup
- 1 dash Angostura bitters
- 2 ounces soda
Shake bourbon, Aperol, lemon juice, maple syrup, and Angostura bitters over ice; strain into a rocks glass; garnish with a lemon wheel and mint.
