THE NEW FASHION
Ingredients You’ll Need
To make a New Fashioned, you’ll need:
-
3 oz bourbon Whiskey (Choose a high-quality whiskey, as it’s the star of the drink.)
-
Approximately 2 Tbsp of 100% Pure Maple Syrup
-
Splash of orange bitters
-
Ice (preferably a large ice cube or sphere)
-
Cocktail cherries (for garnish)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Add bourbon
Add 3oz of bourbon to highball whiskey glass.
2. Add in the syrup
Add in roughly 2 tbsp of 100% pure maple syrup. Less or more based on desired sweetness.
3. Add Bitters
Add a couple of splashes of orange bitters.
4. Stir or Shake
