Smoked Orange Old Fashioned
A smoked orange Old Fashioned with bourbon, bitters, simple syrup and a dehydrated smoked orange garnish for a bold whiskey cocktail.
Smoked Orange Old Fashioned with a Dehydrated Orange Garnish
This smoked orange Old Fashioned keeps the classic structure simple: bourbon, a small amount of simple syrup, Angostura bitters and a large cube of ice. The finishing touch is a Dried Yet. smoked orange wheel, which gives the drink a distinctive garnish without changing the core Old Fashioned recipe.
Why a smoked dried orange works here
Orange is a familiar partner for bourbon and bitters, while the smoked garnish gives the presentation a darker, more aromatic direction. Using a dehydrated wheel also means the garnish is already sliced and ready to place on the glass after stirring and straining.
Serving tips
- Stir the bourbon, syrup and bitters with ice until well chilled rather than shaking.
- Serve over one large cube in a rocks glass.
- Add the smoked orange wheel last so the garnish stays prominent at the top of the drink.
