Richly sweet and gooey maple syrup is not just your waffleโs best friend, itโs also the key to delicious autumnal cocktails.

Here, three fantastic new maple syrup cocktail recipes from some of our favorite bars (plus one from us). If you donโt happen to have a maple tree nearby to tap for extra-fresh homemade syrup, skip the Mrs. Butterworth and instead opt for a high-quality, dark maple syrup.
