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.

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.
