Black Cherry "old Fashioned" Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Chill the Glass

   Begin by chilling an old fashioned glass. You can do this by filling it with ice and letting it sit while you prepare the drink.

2. 2

   Combine Ingredients

   In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of Old Forester Bourbon, 3 oz of McKenzie's Black Cherry Cider, 0.5 oz of Italian Black Cherry Syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters.

3. 3

   Add Ice and Stir

   Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes and stir gently for about 30 seconds until well mixed and chilled.

4. 4

   Prepare the Glass

   Discard the ice from the chilled old fashioned glass. If desired, you can run an orange slice around the rim for added flavor.

5. 5

   Strain and Serve

   Using a strainer, pour the mixed ingredients into the chilled glass over fresh ice cubes. Optionally, add one or two more cubes for optimal dilution.

6. 6

   Garnish

   Garnish the drink with a slice of orange, placing it on the rim of the glass or floating it in the drink.
