Nightjar Old Fashioned Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Glass

   Start by chilling an Old Fashioned glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the drink.

2. 2

   Mix the Ingredients

   In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of Jim Beam Bourbon, 0.5 oz of Nightjar, 1 tsp of Simple Syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters.

3. 3

   Add Ice

   Add 3 ice cubes to the mixing glass. Stir the mixture gently for about 20-30 seconds until it is well chilled.

4. 4

   Strain into Glass

   Discard the ice water from the chilled Old Fashioned glass. Using a strainer, pour the chilled mixture into the glass over fresh ice (you can use a large ice cube for a slower dilution).

5. 5

   Garnish

   Take a piece of orange peel, express the oils over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a gentle twist. Optionally, you can run the peel around the rim of the glass before placing it in the drink as a garnish.
