McCoy’s Old-Fashioned
1 dash
A bitters made from Seville oranges, cardamom, caraway seed, coriander and burnt sugar.
1 dash
A concentrated aromatic bitters made in Trinidad from water, ethanol, gentian and other herbs and spices; used in many classic cocktails like the Manhattan.
1 dash
A syrup made from dissolving granulated sugar (sucrose) in water. Regular simple is made by combining 1:1 sugar:water by mass, rich simple is 2:1 sugar:water by mass although only 1.5 times as sweet as regular. We always use 1:1 syrup unless otherwise noted in the recipe itself.
1 tsp
A concentrated fruit syrup made from cherry pulp. Many sources simply say to take the residual syrup found in jarred cherries.
2 oz
A distilled liquor made from various types of fermented grain mash. Whiskey is typically aged in wooden casks.
1 peel
An orange colored citrus fruit. Many types of orange make an appearance in cocktails. The peel and juice are equally valuable to diverse cocktails.
Stir together all ingredient with ice. Strain into an old-fashioned glass over a large cube. Garnish with a thick orange peel. #stir #ontherocks
