Ingredients
- 2 cups Old Forester Whiskey Row 1920
- ½ cup demerara simple syrup 1:1 ratio of demerara to water
- 24-32 dashes of Hella Bitters Smoked Chili Bitters
- ½ cup water
- Garnish: charred cinnamon sticks
Instructions
- Combine ingredients in a container and stir until well-combined. The easiest way to add the bitters if you’re making this in an empty 750 mL is to add the bitters to the simple syrup before you add it to the bottle. Use the lower threshold of smoked bitters and chill well in a fridge. Once chilled, take a moment to taste test the cocktail. Add more bitters as needed and make sure the drink is completely chilled before serving in a rocks glass over ice. Make sure you garnish the drink with a charred cinnamon stick before serving.
