Iron Fish’s Maple Moon

Bottoms Up
By Lynda Wheatley | Oct. 31, 2020

Denny’s can have Moons Over My Hammy. Equally filling but far, far more fun, however, is Iron Fish Distillery’s ode to autumn, the Maple Moon. A hot and totally indulgent cocktail that tastes even better after a chilly afternoon hike, this whipped wonder mixes coffee with Iron Fish’s own maple bourbon and its own bourbon-barrel-aged maple syrup, then tops it all off — quite literally and liberally — with cinnamon-maple whipped cream. It’s a cocktail that relaxes as it recharges you, chills you out as it warms you up, and truly makes you wonder why maple bourbon, bourbon-aged maple syrup, and coffee haven’t always been part of a well-rounded breakfast. And lunch. And dinner. $11. Find it at Iron Fish Distillery, 14234 Dzuibanek Rd., Thompsonville. www.ironfishdistillery.com
