Smoked Maple OLD FASHIONED Blue Rock Bar & Grill WHO: Sioux Falls LOCATION:
The Smoked Maple Old Fashioned at Blue Rock Bar & Grill captures flavors of oak shipped from Maine, helping add to the essence of Crown Royal Vanilla . Seth Nasby , Blue Rock’s hospitality manager, believes along with the process of smoking a drink, bitters enhance the flavors, enriching the guest’s experience. The drink is presented with the smoke enclosed as the flavors are captured, creating a memorable drinking experience, Nasby adds. This special old fashioned starts with vanilla Crown, a bold, unique replacement for the conventional bourbon, Nasby adds. Along with the flavor-enhancing bitters, the drink also has maple syrup, sweetening the smokey notes. “The vanilla Crown with the maple syrup is always dynamite,” said Nasby. “With the smoked factor, [the ingredients] add a little bit more complexity and flavor.”
