Mandarin Old Fashioned
Inspired by Journeyman
You can’t help but feel a little distinguished when you are drinking an Old Fashioned Cocktail, and this one with mandarin oranges is tops. In this version, we used mandarins and a little of the syrup they are packed in as a substitute for traditional fresh orange slice and sugar.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 Cup of canned Mandarins
- 1tbsp of Mandarin syrup
- 2 Maraschino Cherries
- 2 dashes Bitters
- 50ml Bourbon
-
Place 2 Mandarin slices, Mandarin syrup, one cherry, and the bitters in an 8 oz. cocktail glass. Muddle to crush oranges and cherry.
-
Pour in bourbon, remaining orange slices, and fill the glass 2/3 full with ice.
-
Stir gently to distribute the ice and oranges. Top with a cherry (or three) and serve.
