Hopped Up Old Fashioned Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Chill the Glass

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

2. 2

   Combine the Ingredients

   In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of bourbon and 2 dashes of house-hopped bitters.

3. 3

   Stir with Ice

   Add ice to the mixing glass and stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds until well chilled and diluted.

4. 4

   Prepare the Glass

   Empty the ice water from the chilled Old Fashioned glass. If desired, you can add a large ice cube to the glass.

5. 5

   Strain the Mixture

   Strain the bourbon and bitters mixture into the prepared glass over the ice.

6. 6

   Garnish

   Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a twist. Drop the peel into the glass, and add a maraschino cherry for garnish.
