Our neighbors to the north commemorate Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October in appreciation of the harvest season. Canadian networks broadcast the Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest Parade and the "Thanksgiving Day Classic", Canadian Football League (CFL)'s doubleheader. Instead of preparing one's day-after-Thanksgiving shopping lists and 5-am-sales Target plans, Canadians use the holiday to stow away summer lawn furniture and prepare for the impending harsh winter.
To toast our neighbors to the north, we offer a nationally themed cocktail, the Misty Maple Leaf. Does anybody really drink this stuff?
Misty Maple Leaf
- 2 oz. Canadian whiskey.
- ½ oz. maple syrup.
- Splash of soda.
Pour whiskey and syrup into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Shake well.
Strain into an old-fashioned glass filled with ice.
Add a splash of soda.
