Earl Grey Old Fashioned

PH factor: 9.0

Recipe

Ingredients:

Cocktail

o 2 ½ ounces Woodford Reserve bourbon

o 1 dash Angostura bitters or

to taste

o 1 dash Peychaud’s bitters or

to taste

o ½ ounce Earl Grey Simple

Syrup (see: Syrups etc.)

Garnish

o orange peel

Method:

1. Stir cocktail ingredients over

ice in a mixing glass.

2. Strain into an ice-filled Old

Fashioned glass.

3. Garnish with orange peel.

Remarks:

The term cocktail was coined

in 1806 to describe a mixture

of a spirit, a sweetener, bitters,

and water. In 1882 that was

known as the Old Fashioned

Cocktail. Here syrup replaces

the sugar, and the melting ice

replaces the water called for

in that recipe. A "new" Old

Fashioned? Not so much. A

delicious one? Definitely.
