- 2 oz Bourbon
- 1/2 oz Simple syrup
- 10 pieces Fresh blueberries: For muddling and garnish.
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- Orange peel for garnish
Muddle the Blueberries and Simple Syrup:
In a mixing glass, add about 8 fresh blueberries and the simple syrup.
Gently muddle the blueberries to release their juice and flavor, but be careful not to pulverize them into a complete mash.
Add Bourbon and Bitters:
Pour the bourbon and add two dashes of Angostura bitters to the mixing glass.
Stir the Mixture:
Add a few ice cubes to the glass.
Stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds to combine the flavors while chilling the drink.
Strain into a Glass:
Strain the mixture into an Old Fashioned glass over a large ice cube to reduce dilution.
Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with an orange peel and a couple of fresh blueberries on a skewer or floating on top.
Optionally, give the orange peel a twist over the drink to release its oils before adding it to the glass.
Enjoy:
Enjoy your Blueberry Old Fashioned responsibly.
