Pecan Pie Cocktail

Spread crushed pecans on a small plate. Pour maple syrup onto another small plate. Dip a cocktail glass into the maple syrup and then into the pecans to coat the rim. Repeat with another glass. Fill the glasses with ice, if desired, and set aside.

Combine bourbon, maple-pecan liqueur and cream in a cocktail shaker. Cover and shake vigorously. Divide the cocktail between the prepared glasses. Garnish with whipped cream and pecan halves, if desired.
