Description
A boozy cocktail to keep you cool on a hot summer night!
Ingredients
Scale
- simple syrup, 1 to 2 teaspoons
- 2 to 3 dashes of Angostura bitters
- 1 orange slice
- 2 fresh cherries, halved and pitted
- 2 ounces bourbon or rye whiskey
- crushed ice
- soda water (optional)
Instructions
- Add the simple syrup and bitters to your rocks glass. Swirl to mix and coat the glass.
- Add the orange slice and cherries. Gently muddle the fruit into the sugar and bitters mixture. Don’t pulverize it. You just want to break it apart a bit to distribute the juice.
- Fill the glass with ice – about two-thirds full is what I aim for. Pour the bourbon over the ice and give it a quick stir.
Notes
If the drink is too strong for you, add a splash of soda water or more ice.
