THE BEST OLD FASHIONED. HIS + HERS

My first guest on the channel HAD to be the man, the myth, the legend himself… Chris LaCorte, my husband! He may be a hit songwriter + producer in country music, but he is also a hit cocktail maker. He made me an Old Fashioned recently, and completely opened my eyes to how delicious this drink can be. As I’ve gotten more comfortable making these, I just tweak it a little bit….you know like adding a few more cherries and a little bit more bourbon to mine. Either way, I think you’re really going to love these recipes – no matter which one you make! Ingredients below!

Cook along with a video guide:

CHRIS’ OLD-FASHIONED:

2 ounces Bourbon

Dash of Angostura bitters

Dropper of Spiced Cherry Bitters

1/2 ounce Maple Syrup

Orange Peel

CORT’S OLD-FASHIONED:

3.5 ounces Bourbon

Dash of Angostura bitters

Dropper of Spiced Cherry Bitters

Maple syrup – measure with your heart
