🍊🥃 Want to Make the Perfect Old Fashioned? Here’s my take on it! 👌
I’ve spent a lot of time perfecting this classic, and now it’s your turn to try it at home! Here’s what you’ll need to craft MY perfect Old Fashioned:
Ingredients:
🥃 Old Forester 1920 (because bold flavor matters)
🍯 1:1 Demerara syrup for that rich sweetness
🍂 Fee Brothers Black Walnut Bitters for depth
🍊 Fee Brothers Orange Bitters for a citrus kick
🍊 Orange peel for the aromatic finish
🍒 Your favorite cherries (because, why not?)
Let’s Mix It Up! 🔥
1️⃣ Start by pouring 2 oz of that beautiful Old Forester 1920 into your favorite mixing glass (or mason jar, we’re not fancy here).
2️⃣ Add 0.5 oz of Demerara syrup to sweeten things up.
3️⃣ Hit it with 2 dashes of Black Walnut bitters and 1 dash of Orange bitters.
4️⃣ Ice it up and give it a solid stir – 25 times to be exact.
5️⃣ Strain over a big ol' block of ice 🧊 for that slow, steady chill.
6️⃣ Orange peel magic: Squeeze the peel over the drink to release those oils, then rub it around the rim for an extra citrusy aroma.
7️⃣ Finally, drop in your cherry 🍒 and enjoy!
✨ Pro Tip: This drink is dangerously good! 😏 But with Old Forester 1920 coming in at 115 proof, it’s got a kick that’ll sneak up on you—drink responsibly!
Now go on, impress your friends (or just treat yourself) with this killer Old Fashioned. 🥂🍒
