There's something timeless about the Old Fashioned cocktail. Its classic simplicity and rich flavors make it a favorite for cocktail enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike. Today, we're thrilled to share a special twist on this beloved drink: the Honey Bourbon Old Fashioned, crafted with Outlaw Distillery's premium Honey Bourbon.
Ingredient Spotlight: Outlaw Honey Bourbon is the star of this cocktail. Its smooth, rich flavor, infused with natural honey, adds a unique sweetness that elevates the classic Old Fashioned to new heights.
Before we dive into the recipe, make sure you have the following tools on hand:
Start by adding 2 ounces of Outlaw Honey Bourbon, 1/2 ounce of honey syrup, and 2-3 dashes of Angostura bitters to your mixing glass.
Add ice to the mixing glass and stir gently. Stirring is essential to chill the mixture and dilute it slightly, ensuring a balanced flavor.
Strain the mixture into an Old Fashioned glass over a large ice cube. This method keeps the drink cold without overly diluting it.
Finally, express the oils of an orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a slight twist. Drop the peel into the glass as a garnish.
Always use high-quality ingredients, especially when it comes to your bourbon. Outlaw Honey Bourbon’s superior flavor makes a noticeable difference.
When stirring, aim for a smooth, gentle motion to properly mix and chill the cocktail without over-diluting it.
To get the most flavor from your orange peel, make sure to express the oils over the glass before dropping it in. This adds a fragrant citrus note that enhances the drink.
The Honey Bourbon Old Fashioned pairs wonderfully with rich, savory foods like grilled steaks, smoked ribs, or a charcuterie board with aged cheeses.
This cocktail is perfect for special occasions like dinner parties, celebrations, or even a quiet evening at home when you want to treat yourself to something special.
Creating the perfect Honey Bourbon Old Fashioned is simple and rewarding. With Outlaw Honey Bourbon, a few quality ingredients, and the right technique, you can enjoy a cocktail that's both classic and uniquely delightful.
