Applejack Old Fashioned

We decided to use maple syrup instead of sugar and applejack instead of whiskey in this twist on the classic highball. We love it served over one enormous ice cube. Tovolo makes 2-inch ice cube trays, available on Amazon.com.

Stir ingredients together and and serve in a rocks glass with a big ice chunk. Garnish with a lemon twist.
