Old Fashioned

[Umberto]

Here is one I’ll have to try.

Tasting Notes​

The Maple Bacon Old Fashioned is a delight for your taste buds. You’ll first notice the rich, smoky flavor of bacon, which blends perfectly with the sweetness of maple syrup. The whiskey adds a warm, smooth touch, making each sip a perfect balance of flavors. It’s like a sweet, smoky hug in a glass.

Ingredients​

• 2 oz whiskey (preferably bourbon)
• 1/2 oz maple syrup
• 2 dashes of bitters
• A strip of cooked bacon for garnish
• Orange peel or cherries for garnish (optional)

The Maple Old Fashioned sounds great.


I recently tried a "Grand Old Fashioned"

It substitutes in Grand Marnier for the traditional sugar/water (simple syrup), substitutes Orange Bitters for the traditional bitters. Quite tasty too.

I“ve been using a French orange liqueur, as well, instead of using the crushed sugar cube and use about a tsp.

Oh, eh! I have orange bitter, just have not tried them yet. I have grapefruit bitters, as well, but not fond of them.

I make these and use Angostura bitters and it's delicious. I imagine Cointreau would work too in place of Grand Marnier.
