Monday, Sept. 26, 2016 | 2 a.m.

Ingredients

2 oz. Garrison Brothers Flagship Bourbon

1/2 oz. Luxardo Apricot Liqueur

2 dashes of Australian Bitters Company Aromatic Bitters

Lemon peel

Orange slice

Luxardo Maraschino cherry

Method

Place the lemon peel in an Old Fashioned glass and muddle with bitters. In a mixing glass filled with ice, add the bourbon and apricot liqueur, then strain into the glass. Garnish with cherry and orange slice, and serve over an ice sphere.

°°°

This sophisticated take on the classic Old Fashioned will impress cocktail purists, bourbon-lovers and experimental mixologists alike. Garrison Brothers Flagship Bourbon is as smooth a whiskey as they come, with rich flavors that unfold for a buttery, caramelized-sugar finish. When met with the sweet apricot liqueur and the bitterness from the muddled lemon peel and the aromatic bitters, you get a truly complex drink.
