  • Or - hear me out here -

    • 60ml makers mark
    • 2 dashes of Angostura bitters
    • ~8ml 2:1 sugar syrup
    • and if you can get it, ~8ml of maraschino liquor

    Stir over ice, strain into a rocks glass with a fresh ice chunk. If you’re feeling fancy, rinse the glass with a splash of absinth beforehand. Garnish with an orange twist, a cherry, or hey why not: both.

    Using sugar syrup means the sweetness is mixed into the drink… And you aren’t chewing on bits of sugar when you finish. The larger pour of bourbon gives you a longer drink and the fancy pants additions really do add something special to it, but are totally optional. Sub makers for whatever you like… It’s my favourite bourbon to mix for this one.

    Yes I just shared a variation old fashioned recipe. Yes, I know in some circles this constitutes a declaration of war.
