S'mores Old Fashioned

Is it fall without an evening full of fires and s’mores? Not for me, so I wanted to recreate the flavors of the s’more with a whiskey kick and came up with this easy old fashioned. If you’d rather not make your own marshmallow simple syrup like I did, several coffee syrup makers have toasted marshmallow syrups to use for cocktails and coffees.

Toasted Marshmallow Syrup recipe:

1 cup sugar
1 cup water
12 toasted marshmallows

Combine 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar in a saucepan. Add 12 toasted marshmallows (toasted only, not completely charred). Heat until the marshmallows are melted, and all the sugar is dissolved. It will still look foamy and creamy from the marshmallows but should be fully liquid. Let cool fully. Strain through a metal sieve to catch the charred bits and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. You may need to strain off the foam at the top of the syrup, it will make your cocktail cloudy. Or you could just serve it in a mug.
