Pancake Cocktail
Spring 2022
Don’t flinch at the unusual-sounding list of ingredients; when combined, these flavours taste like a syrup-drizzled breakfast! Whiskies such as Jameson, Canadian Club and any bourbon work well. You may want to make extra maple-glazed bacon for snacking… It’s that good.
Makes 1 drink
1 oz whisky
1/2 oz butterscotch or butter ripple schnapps
1/2 oz orange juice
Strip Maple-Glazed Bacon (recipe follows), for garnish
1. Measure all ingredients except bacon into a shaker half-full of ice. Shake for about
10 seconds, or until thoroughly chilled.
2. Strain (use a fine-strainer or tea strainer if juice has pulp) into a small juice glass.
3. Serve topped with a strip of maple-glazed bacon.

MAPLE-GLAZED BACON
1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Lightly coat a baking rack with nonstick cooking spray and place it on the sheet. For each drink garnish, place a slice of bacon on a second rimmed baking sheet. (Bacon can be thick or regular cut, but should be plain/smoked, not flavoured with maple or other wood. Turkey or chicken bacon also works.) Brush both sides of slices with maple syrup. Allow any excess to drip off as you transfer strips to rack on foil-lined sheet.
2. Place sheet in a cold oven and then heat oven to 350°F (177°C).
3. After 15 minutes, flip slices and rotate pan in oven. Check at 5-minute intervals, removing from oven when bacon is crisp and deeply glazed (about 20 minutes for turkey or chicken bacon, 25 minutes for regular bacon and 30 minutes for thick-cut bacon). Watch the pan carefully in final minutes of cooking so the glazed bacon doesn’t burn; remove the pan from your oven carefully (there will be hot fat in the bottom)! Cool 5 minutes. Use tongs to move slices to sheet of parchment to finish cooling.
