NOR'EASTER

Sean Josephs created this spicy-sweet cocktail of bourbon, maple syrup, ginger beer and lime juice to serve at his now-closed barbecue restaurants, Maysville and Char No. 4. It's great on its own or alongside a pile of spicy barbecue pulled pork. If you prefer your drinks on the not-so-sweet side, add just a touch of maple syrup, taste, then add more as needed.
