St. Augustine Wildflower Honey Old Fashioned
Ingredients:
- 2 oz bourbon or rye whiskey
- 1/2 oz Honey Truck St. Augustine Wildflower Honey
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- 1 teaspoon water
- Orange peel, for garnish
- Ice
Instructions:
- Make the Honey Syrup: Since honey can be quite thick, it's best to make a simple honey syrup. In a small bowl or glass, mix the wildflower honey with the water until well combined. This will make it easier to blend into the cocktail.
- Combine Ingredients: In an Old Fashioned glass, add the honey syrup and bitters. Stir to combine.
- Add Whiskey: Pour in the bourbon or rye whiskey. Stir gently to mix.
- Add Ice: Add one large ice cube or a few smaller ones to the glass. Stir gently for about 20 seconds to chill the drink and slightly dilute it.
- Garnish: Twist the orange peel over the glass to release the oils, then rub it around the rim of the glass. Drop the peel into the drink as a garnish.
- Serve: Enjoy your Wildflower Honey Old Fashioned!
This version of the Old Fashioned will have a delightful floral sweetness from the wildflower honey, complementing the rich flavors of the whiskey beautifully. Cheers!
