The Story Behind The Walnut and Maple Old Fashioned

The Old Fashioned is a perfect sipping cocktail, especially during the holidays or when you’re entertaining at home. This week, I’m celebrating Thanksgiving with this strong, alcohol-forward bourbon cocktail. To make this classic more festive, I added pure maple syrup as the sweetener and a few dashes of black walnut bitters. The maple syrup and walnut bitters compliment each other beautifully, and really showcase the bourbon in this cocktail. Happy Thanksgiving!

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces bourbon
  • ¼ ounce of pure maple syrup
  • 3 dashes of walnut bitters
  • 1 cup of ice
  • Cracked walnut (garnish)

Directions

  1. Add all ingredients into mixing glass
  2. Stir to chill and combine ingredients
  3. Strain into serving glass over fresh ice
  4. Garnish with cracked walnut
