Happy Thanksgiving to our readers of Canadian citizenship or aspirations from the Dog Denizens of Genesee Park (DDGP)!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.
