“Matcha Maker”

Looking for a healthier cocktail? Coconut, lime, maple, matcha and our innovative Canadiana.

  • In a shaker or a mason jar with a few cubes ice, add 2oz of Canadiana (similar to rum, but made from maple sugar instead of cane sugar.)
  • Add 1oz fresh lime juice.
  • Add 1oz maple syrup.
  • Add 2oz coconut cream.
  • Add 1/2 Tsp of matcha powder
  • Cover and shake, fine strain into a 12oz glass filled with ice.
  • Garnish with lime. I used dehydrated lime wheels.

* I brushed maple syrup onto the glass then sprinkled Graham cracker crumbs and shredded coconut onto it. You could just rim it with maple syrup and dip the rim in Graham cracker and shredded coconut mix.

“Mimosa”

Here’s how to make it:

  • Fill a 16oz glass with ice.
  • Add 3oz of fresh OJ.
  • Add 1.5oz of Golden Canadiana.
  • Top to the tippy top with sparkling wine.
  • Express orange peel over the cocktail by twisting it. Garnish with the orange peel.

Golden Canadiana is most similar to golden rum, but not made from sugar cane like rum. Instead we make this innovative spirit from fermented maple sugar, it’s then distilled and barrel aged at our distillery in Waterville, New Brunswick.
Golden Canadiana is not maple flavoured or sweetened with maple syrup.

“Wild Strawberry Mojito”

Here’s how to make it:

  • Find some wild strawberries. If you don’t already know where to find some, It’s pretty easy to find them this time of year along forest tree-lines. Farmed strawberries will do just fine if you can’t find wild ones.
  • Add a few mint leaves and a 1/4 cup of strawberries to a shaker tin or a mason jar. Muddle the mint and berries.
  • Add .5oz of fresh lemon and .5oz of simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water by weight)
  • 1.5oz of Golden Canadiana. This spirit is similar to golden rum except its distilled from maple sugar instead of sugar cane. It is not a maple flavoured spirit.
  • Add ice to the shaker or mason jar, cover, and shake for a few seconds.
  • Fine strain (tea strainer) the cocktail into a 12oz glass filled with ice. Top with club soda.
  • Garnish with strawberries and a mint sprig. Make sure you express the mint with a little spank.

Enjoy!
