VANILLA OLD FASHIONED

It’s winter time in Colorado and one of our favorite warm-me-up cocktails is an old fashioned. Who said you can’t add vanilla to your old fashion. I promise, you won’t be disappointed.

INGREDIENTS:

2oz. your favorite bourbon

1 teaspoon simple syrup

3 dashes of angostura bitters

1 teaspoon water

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Add the sugar and bitters into a mixing glass, then add the water, and stir until the syrup is nearly dissolved.

1. Fill the mixing glass with ice, add the bourbon, and stir until well-chilled.

2. Strain into a rocks glass over one large ice cube.

3. Run the orange twist over the glass, then drop into the glass to garnish.
