Rye & Rum Old Fashioned

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Muddle the Sugar

    In an old-fashioned glass, add the sugar cube and the star anise. Use a muddler to crush them together gently until the sugar is broken down and the flavors of the star anise are released.

  2. 2

    Add Bitters

    Add 2 dashes of orange bitters to the muddled mixture. Stir gently to combine the flavors.

  3. 3

    Add Rye and Rum

    Pour in 2 oz of Redemption Rye Whiskey and 1 oz of Diplomático Reserva Rum over the muddled mixture in the glass.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Add 3 ice cubes to the glass, allowing the mixture to chill and dilute slightly.

  5. 5

    Stir the Cocktail

    Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds to combine the ingredients and chill the drink.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Express the oils from a strip of orange peel over the drink, then drop it in as a garnish. Optionally, finish with a few shavings of coffee bean on top for added aroma. Enjoy your Rye & Rum Old Fashioned!
