Fraiser Old Fashioned

Fraiser, Bourbon, sugar gomme, bitters and orange…. Made slowly to be savoured slowly.

Ingredients

  • 1 part Fraiser
  • 1 part Bourbon
  • 1 spoon caster sugar.
  • 1 orange peel
  • 4-5 dots Cocktail bitters
  • Cubed ice
  • Block ice (this drink is best served over a big block of ice if you have access to it)
  • Cherries (for garnish. 1-2 of your preferred type)

If you are using a standard sized old-fashioned glass (around 10oz) then 30ml of each ingredient is one part.

Equipment

  • Cocktail tin or mixing glass (this drink is stirred)
  • Hawthorn strainer
  • Bar spoon (or stirring implement)
  • Old fashioned glass (or whisky glass or similar)

Method

1. Add sugar and bourbon to tin or mixing glass and use the flat end of the bar spoon or a muddler to grind the sugar into a fine paste.

2. Add Fraiser.

3. Add cubed ice and stir. This drink is best chilled and well-diluted. Around 40-50 times for this drink is a good rule of thumbs (so 40-50 stirs)

4. Strain over fresh ice into the glass (preferably block)

5. Zest orange over the drink and glass.

6. Garnish with your choice of cherry

7. Feel sophisticated.
