Method
Liquors
Measure and combine
Add 1 oz Basil Hayden’s, 1 oz Blanton’s Single Barrel, and 1 oz Buffalo Trace into a chilled mixing glass.
Citrus & Sweetener
Add sweetener & bitters
Pour 0.25 oz simple syrup into the mixing glass and add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. These balance the combined proof and add aromatic complexity.
Ice & Tools
Prepare glass
Place one large ice cube or sphere in a rocks glass.
Strain and finish
Using a strainer, pour the stirred cocktail over the prepared ice in the rocks glass.
Garnish
Express the orange peel over the drink to release oils, rub the peel on the rim if desired, and drop it into the glass.
Serve: Present immediately. The cocktail highlights three distinct bourbons — the herbal spice of Basil Hayden’s, the single-barrel character of Blanton’s, and the solid backbone of Buffalo Trace — finished with a touch of sweetness and bitters.
