Try this delicious Old Fashioned Recipe to get you in the "Fall Spirits."
Ingredients:
2.5 ounces bourbon - (I prefer Four Roses Single Barrel)
2/3 ounce pure maple syrup* - (I prefer Finding Home Farms)
1 tablespoon pumpkin purée
1-2 dashes black walnut bitters**
Orange peel, cinnamon stick, and a bourbon cherry for garnish
Instructions:
In a cocktail shaker with ice, combine the bourbon, maple syrup, pumpkin purée, and bitters. Shake vigorously.
Add ice to a rocks glass, then strain in the cocktail mixture.
Squeeze the orange peel over the top of the cocktail to release the oils; then rub the orange peel around the rim of the glass.
Garnish with orange peel, cinnamon stick, and a bourbon cherry***.
Notes *Use real maple syrup. Adjust the amount to suit your preferred level of sweetness. **Standard Angostura bitters work well here, too.
