Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle Vanilla Bean

    Slice the fresh vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into a mixing glass. Add the empty pod to the glass. This will infuse the drink with a rich vanilla flavor.

  2. 2

    Add Sugar and Whiskey

    Add 1 tsp of turbinado sugar to the mixing glass with the muddled vanilla. Pour in 2 oz of Texas whiskey and stir gently to dissolve the sugar.

  3. 3

    Add Bitters

    Add 2 dashes of barrel-aged bitters to the mixture in the mixing glass.

Mixing and Serving

  1. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes (about 3 cubes) and stir the mixture for about 30 seconds until well chilled.

  2. 5

    Strain into Glass

    Strain the mixture into an old fashioned glass over a large ice cube to keep it chilled without diluting too quickly.

  3. 6

    Garnish

    Express the oils from an orange twist over the drink and drop the twist into the glass as a garnish.
