I am fortunate to live in an area that has a lot of apple orchards. So I feel assured to be able to get the very best of freshly pressed cider. If you can get it, purchase that instead of what you can buy in the grocery store.
I am also fortunate to be able to purchase any number of Kentucky bourbons, considering I live just north of there in Ohio (ten miles north of south, right?). I also used some bourbon barrel maple syrup, which is pricy but delicious. You can find it online. But regular pure syrup will do nicely.
Just try to avoid pancake syrup that is not pure maple.

The hubz said he likes his with a touch less sweet and a little more bourbon for the burn. I found this drink perfectly quaffable as it is. But don’t be shy adjusting the tastes your way.
