Beverage Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Muddle the fruits and sugar

    In an old-fashioned glass, add the demerara sugar, the fresh orange slice, and the blackberries. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the fruits and sugar together, releasing the juices and creating a sweet base.

  2. 2

    Add bitters

    Add 2 dashes of Regan's Orange Bitters over the muddled mixture to enhance the flavors.

  3. 3

    Pour the bourbon

    Pour 2 oz of Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon into the glass over the muddled fruit and bitters mixture.

  4. 4

    Add ice

    Fill the glass with 4 ice cubes. Stir gently to combine the ingredients without losing the integrity of the muddled fruits.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Optional: Garnish with an additional slice of orange or a blackberry on top for a decorative touch.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately and enjoy your Aster New Fashioned cocktail.
