Hot Honey Old Fashioned

Ingredients

  • 60 ml Bourbon e.g. Maker's Mark, Buffalo Trace, Woodford Reserve
  • 10 ml Hot honey syrup
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • Garnish Orange peel

Preparation

  1. Stir all ingredients with ice.
  2. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube. Don't know how? Pour the drink through a strainer (or the built-in strainer on your shaker) to catch the ice and any solids.
  3. Garnish with orange peel. Use a peeler or knife to cut a wide strip, avoiding the white pith. Twist it over the drink to release the oils, then drop it in.
