3 EASY STEPS: SYRUP, PEEL + POUR
Step 1: Make the cinnamon rosemary simple syrup
Make a quick refined-sugar free simple syrup infused with cinnamon and rosemary:Â
- measure 1/3 c of honey into a pan
- Measure 1/2 c of water into the same pan
- add rosemary sprigs
- add cinnamon sticks
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. Remove the cinnamon sticks and rosemary sprigs.Â
Step 2: Peel an orange
- slice two thin, long strips of peel to use as a garnish
- twist them to give them a bit of a coiled look
Step 3: Pour it and put it all together!
- add ice to your glass
- pour 2 oz of Bourbon into each glass
- add 1 oz of cinnamon + rosemary simple syrup
- add half a dropper (or 4-5 drops) of bitters
- give the drink a stirÂ
- add a fresh sprig of rosemary and your orange peel as a garnish
This recipe makes for a not too sweet Old Fashioned with some perfect-for-fall cinnamon, herb notes. If you’d prefer a more citrusy finish, swap the Bittercube Bolivar bitters for orange bitters.Â
