Smoked Old Fashioned - A Seriously Smoked Bourbon Cocktail
Put a twist on a timeless drink with a Smoked Old Fashioned. This recipe makes a high proof, smoked bourbon cocktail with spicy bitters.
Ingredients
- 2 oz 110 to 115 proof bourbon - barrel strength preferred
- ½ oz demerara simple syrup
- 1 dash angostura bitters
- 2 dashes Hella smoked chili bitters
- Garnish: orange peel/smoked cinnamon stick
Instructions
- Combine bourbon, simple and bitters in a mixing glass and add ice. Stir well to combine and strain into an old fashioned glass with a large cube of ice. Express an orange peel over the top of the cocktail and sip slowly. As the high proof bourbon melts the old fashioned changes character and evolves into a sweeter, more approachable drink. Or it could just be the alcohol.
