Eagle Rare Recipe

1. Build

Place a rocks glass on the counter. Add the simple syrup (0.25 oz) to the glass, then add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters and 1 dash of orange bitters (optional).

2. Add whiskey

Pour 2 oz Eagle Rare bourbon into the glass over the syrup and bitters.

3. Stir and chill

Add a large ice cube or several ice cubes to the glass. Stir gently with a bar spoon for about 20–30 seconds (15–20 full turns) to chill and dilute slightly, until the glass is cold and the drink is integrated.

4. Express garnish

Hold an orange peel over the glass, skin side down, and gently squeeze to express the oils over the drink. Run the peel around the rim, then drop it into the glass. Optionally, add a Luxardo or maraschino cherry on a pick.

5. Serve immediately. Enjoy slowly to appreciate the Eagle Rare's aromatics and flavors.
