Bulleit Old Fashioned


I have not posted a cocktail recipe for a while now and began to wonder what is the most popular cocktail for 2020?  By leaps and bounds not only is this cocktail popular in 2020 but in the world for the past 6 years running.  Shame on me for not including such a popular recipe  sooner. For this recipe I am copying from the masters, why try to reinvent the wheel on this one?  BULLEIT Bourbon Whiskey Old Fashioned, and here it is:

1.25 oz. Bulleit Bourbon
2 spoons simple syrup
3 dashes Angostura Bitters
1 orange peel

Pour Bulleit Bourbon, simple syrup and Angostura Bitters into a rocks glass.
Add ice, stir until level of the ice and liquid equalize.
Zest an orange peel over the glass and add the peel to the drink as a garnish.

Enjoy Responsibly!



Hot Bourbon-Apple Toddy

I call this my cold medicine-


  • 10 oz apple cider
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 star anise
  • 8 whole cloves
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoon honey
  • 4 oz bourbon (or honey whiskey)
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice  

In a sauce pot, combine apple cider, cinnamon, star anise, and cloves. Bring to a boil. 

Remove from heat and cover with a lid.  Allow spices to steep for 10-15 minutes.
Strain spices. Stir in honey to dissolve. 

Add whiskey and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Add more honey according to taste, if desired. Serve with sliced apples, sliced lemons, cinnamon sticks, and star anise.
