The Old Fashioned is as classic as cocktails get, but there are many ways to spin it, from traditional bourbon to something more exotic like tequila. 🥃
This week we’re looking at a rum old fashioned, which celebrates (good) rum, and brings some excellent flavors to your glass.
Aged rums can have deep notes of vanilla, coconut, or dried fruit. A far cry from the dive bar well rums that you might have bad memories of. Below is the recipe.
Ingredients:
• 2oz rum
• Demerara syrup or simple syrup
• Bitters
• Orange peel
• Cherry optional
Instructions:
Stir bitters and syrup. Fill the glass with a large cube and add rum. Stir to combine. Express the orange peel over the glass then drop it in.

🍹
Shake. Stir. Sip.

Yes! Lots of people think rum is only for mixing, great rum is a treat.
Yes to this. I alternate between a bourbon and an andjo rum. Love to do this with Ron Zacappa rum. Orange and chocolate bitters too.
