Instructions
- In an old fashioned glass, take the orange peel and muddle it gently with the maple syrup and Angostura bitters. This will release the essential oils from the orange peel and infuse the mixture with citrusy aromas.
- Pour in the bourbon and stir well to combine all the flavors.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes, allowing them to chill the drink while maintaining the perfect balance of flavors.
- Stir again to ensure the drink is well mixed and chilled.
- Garnish with an additional twist of orange peel and a maraschino cherry, if desired, for an extra touch of elegance.
- Serve and enjoy this comforting cocktail, perfect for any occasion!
Tips
- For a smokier flavor, try using a bourbon with a higher rye content.
- Experiment with different types of bitters, such as orange or chocolate bitters, for unique twists.
- If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the amount of maple syrup to suit your taste.
