Maple Ripple Cocktail

This cocktail is loosely inspired by the Manhattan, which has long been considered the standard of Whiskey cocktails, and as such makes an excellent alternative for the Manhattan drinker who is getting bored, or low on vermouth. Maple syrup is the perfect compliment to Rye Whiskey. The nutmeg on top offers a little aromatic spice to complete the experience. Any other sweet spice will work in place of nutmeg, but nutmeg is best. Excellent in all seasons, best as a desert cocktail. Enjoy.
