Recipe: Walnut Old Fashioned

Overview

---

Main Spirit:
Rye

Yields:
1 Drink

Glassware:
Rocks Glass

I created this version of an old fashioned to switch things up a bit. It’s a great cold weather option as the walnut liqueur adds some savory notes but also a little sweet (and can stand in for some of the simple syrup).

Ingredients:

• 2 oz. rye

• .5 oz. walnut liqueur (I used Nux Alpina)

• .25 oz. simple syrup

• 6 dashes Angostura bitters

• 1/2 bar spoon syrup from Luxardo cherries

• Garnish with Luxardo cherry
