As an Old Fashioned is made with bourbon – which is naturally sweeter than whisky, it doesn’t needed to be loaded up with extra sugar. Swap it out for a hint of maple & it brings out those warm, rich & caramel-y flavours in the bourbon.

You will need:

• Bourbon
• Bitters
• Maple syrup 
• Fresh orange
• Maraschino cherries (optional)
• Ice

To make:

1. Using a vegetable peeler or knife, cut a long piece of peel then run the peel around the rim of the glass 
2. Add bourbon, bitters & maple syrup & stir to combine 
3. Add ice & stir until chilled 
4. Give the orange peel a good twist to release the oil, then add it into the drink 
5. Add a maraschino cherry (if using) & serve immediately
