Orange-vanilla Old Fashioned cocktail

Orange-Vanilla Old Fashioned

Orange and vanilla are natural partners for bourbon. The orange brightens its caramel and oak notes, while vanilla adds a soft sweetness without actually adding sugar.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz orange-vanilla infused bourbon
  • ΒΌ oz demerara syrup or simple syrup
  • 2-3 dashes Angostura bitters
  • orange peel for garnish
  • large ice cube

Instructions
 

  • Add the infused bourbon, syrup, and bitters to a mixing glass with ice. Stir until well chilled.
  • Strain into a rocks glass over one large ice cube. Express an orange peel over the drink and use it as your garnish.

Notes

Make it your own: Try swapping the Angostura for orange bitters, or use a combination of the two.
