Ingredients
- 1 oz. Rye Whiskey
- 1 oz. Apple Brandy
- 1 brown sugar cube
- 4 dashes Orange Bitters
- Orange peel for garnish
Takes . Serves One.
Last night, I was introduced to this lovely cocktail by a talented bartender at a speakeasy in Long Beach. It was conceived in New York's Little BranchΒ bar in 2007, and is a riff on the classic Old Fashioned cocktail.
Start by dropping four dashes of orange bitters on top of the brown sugar cube, and muddle with orange peel. Then, add one ounce each of Rye Whiskey and Apple Brandy, stir with ice and serve with an orange peel garnish.
Tonight, I made my own variation of this cocktail. I used molasses instead of brown sugar cube, bourbon instead of rye, and I tilted the ratio much more heavily in favor of whiskey to cut down on the sweetness. Tasty!
