Freezer Door/Batch Old Fashioned Recipe

bourbon or rye whiskey

🥗Healthier: vodka

💰Cheaper: blended whiskey

Vodka offers a lighter option, while blended whiskey can be more affordable.

sugar cube

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: granulated sugar

Agave syrup is lower on the glycemic index, and granulated sugar is often more accessible.

Make simple syrup by mixing equal parts of water and sugar, around 8 oz each.

Microwave the mixture for 20 seconds to help dissolve the sugar.

Stir until the sugar is completely combined and not sitting at the bottom.

Pour out 10 oz of bourbon from the bottle to make room for other ingredients.

Add 8 oz of simple syrup into the bourbon bottle.

Add 2 oz of bitters, consisting of 1 oz of orange bitters and 1 oz of Angostura bitters, into the bourbon bottle.

Seal the bourbon bottle and mix it up well.

Store the mixture in the fridge or freezer, but avoid long-term storage in the freezer to prevent it from becoming syrupy.

When ready to serve, pour 3 to 4 oz of the mixture over ice.
