How to make Van Vleet

  1. 01

    Chill the rocks thoroughly, confirm that no garnish is required, and ready the shaker.

  2. 02

    Measure white rum, maple syrup, lemon juice accurately and add them to a clean cocktail shaker.

  3. 03

    Chill a heavy old-fashioned glass and fill it with fresh clear cubed ice, add the white rum, pure maple syrup, and fresh lemon juice to a shaker filled with solid ice, shake hard for 10–15 seconds until the syrup is fully dissolved and the drink is very cold, fine-strain over the prepared fresh ice, check that the surface is clean, and serve without garnish.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled rocks so no small ice fragments reach the drink.

  6. 06

    Serve immediately without a garnish while the drink is at its best.
