When it comes to classic cocktails, few can rival the timelessness of the Old Fashioned. Its simple yet sophisticated combination of spirits, sugar, water, and bitters has remained a staple in the cocktail world for generations. Now, say hello to the “Freezer Door Old Fashioned” This is one of my favorite ways to make classic booze forward cocktails because all you have to do it make it in the bottle, throw it in the freezer and your ready to pour & sip whenever you feel like it!
Let’s make it at home:
Grab a full bottle of rye or bourbon and pour out 6 oz, shoot it back or save it!
In your bottle add in:
2 oz Demerara syrup
1 oz cherry syrup
3/4 oz angostura bitters
1/2 oz Orange bitters
Optional: 1-2 oz water for dilution (I like to let mine mellow with ice but it’s up to you as it’s pretty boozy!)
Optional: 1 orange peel
Mix together & place in the freezer!
Pour 3oz over a large a cube & enjoy!
There are many different size bottles of bourbon and rye. The ratio of other ingredients should correspond to the amount of the liquor. What size bottle of bourbon/rye is this recipe appropriate for? And do you have a preferred / favorite bourbon?
