Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Aged rum
  • 1 barspoon Apple cider syrup
  • 3 dashes Angostura bitters
  • Garnish: Orange twist

Instructions

  • In a mixing glass, combine the aged rum, apple cider syrup, and Angostura bitters.
  • Add ice to the mixing glass and stir until the mixture is well-chilled.
  • Strain the mixture into an Old Fashioned glass filled with a large ice cube or a few smaller ones.
  • Express the oil from an orange twist over the drink by holding the twist over the glass and giving it a gentle squeeze. Drop the twist into the drink for added flavor and aroma.
  • Sip and enjoy the warm, spiced flavors of this autumnal take on a classic Old Fashioned.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • To make apple cider syrup, simmer apple cider in a saucepan until it reduces by half, then add a bit of sugar or honey to sweeten if desired.
  • For an extra aromatic experience, gently warm the orange twist before expressing the oils over the drink.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less apple cider syrup to your taste.
