Fireside Spiced Vanilla Old Fashioned
This elevated Old Fashioned lets the rich Madagascar vanilla and spiced warmth of our Spice Vanilla Bitter shine through, now with a touch of Irish Mist's golden honey liqueur for extra silky sweetness and herbal intrigue. The Sugar in the Raw cube brings gentle caramel undertones—muddle it gently for balanced dissolution. Handcrafted organic botanicals meet timeless comfort in every sip.
Ingredients
- 2 oz 4 Roses Single Batch Bourbon (or use a rye bourbon for bolder spice)
- 1/2 oz Irish Mist Honey Liqueur
- 1 Sugar in the Raw cube (or 1 tsp if you prefer easier mixing)
- 6-8 drops Ageless Apothecary Bar-Tonic Spice Vanilla Bitter
- 1 orange peel (for expressing oils)
- Large ice cube (or sphere for dramatic, slow melt)
Instructions In an Old Fashioned glass (rocks glass), place the Sugar in the Raw cube. Add the Irish Mist Honey Liqueur and Spice Vanilla Bitter. Muddle gently to break down the cube and dissolve it into the liquid (add a splash of water if needed for better muddling). Express the oils from the orange peel by twisting it over the glass, then drop it in. Pour in the bourbon. Add a large ice cube and stir gently for 20-30 seconds until chilled and properly diluted. Garnish with the orange peel (or a cinnamon stick for aromatic flair). Sip slowly and savor the cozy layers.
