#Old Fashioned Cocktail recipe

[askwhatsforlunch]

Old Fashioned

I particularly enjoy a Whisky cocktail in the Winter, because the flavour and smoky aroma of the spirit is warming. If you want to easy into the weekend with such a cocktail, I recommend mixing yourself an Old Fashioned. It has stood the test of time for a reason --or several, actually, from the mellow embrace of Bourbon to the suave bitterness of Angostura, the whole thing lifted up by the bright citrus notes. Simple and beautiful. Happy Friday!

Ingredients (serves 1):

1 heaped teaspoon caster sugar

2 or 3 dashes Angostura Bitter

1 teaspoon water, at room temperature

60 millilitres/2 fluid ounces (4 tablespoons) good quality Bourbon

8 ice cubes

a freshly peeled orange twist

In a mixing glass, combine caster sugar with two or three dashes Angostura Bitters.

Add water, and stir well with a bar spoon until sugar dissolves.

Add Bourbon and six of the ice cubes, and stir gently until well-chilled.

Place remaining ice cubes in a rocks glass, and strain cocktail over the ice.

Express the oils of the orange twist, and drop into the glass.

Enjoy Old Fashioned immediately.

The 6 Best Liquors and Cocktails for Valentine's Day

Benton’s Old Fashioned !

2 oz. bacon-infused bourbon*

0.25 oz. maple syrup

2-3 dashes Angostura Bitters

Add a large piece of ice to a rocks glass, add liquids, and stir for about 10 seconds. Express the oils of an orange peel over the top and place the peel in the drink as a garnish.

*Bacon-infused Bourbon

8 oz. bourbon

0.5 oz. bacon fat

Put two or three strips of bacon in a pan, and heat gently and slowly—you want to make extra sure not to scorch or smoke the fat. When the bacon is almost cooked, pour off the liquid rendered fat into a separate container. 

You need 0.5 oz. (1 tbsp) of fat for every 8 oz. of bourbon, so start with that ratio and scale up if you desire. Combine the two in a non-reactive container and stir. Let sit at room temp for four to 24 hours, then transfer to the freezer until frozen (about 2hrs). Strain the liquid off the now-solid fat through a coffee filter or cheesecloth, and it should be totally clear. 

Since it will change slowly over time, the best practice is to keep the bourbon in the fridge. There’s a non-zero chance it could go rancid (though it’s never happened to me), so try to use it on the quicker side, within a couple weeks.
