This seasonal twist on the classic has all the familiar characteristics, but with a lovely touch of warm spice that pairs so well. Perfect to sip on cooler evenings.
1dashorange bittersor an additional dash angostura
2fl ozbourbonor rye whiskey
1striporange peel
Instructions
Place the pumpkin spiced syrup, angostura and orange bitters in a glass or mixing jug and gently stir to mix. Add cracked ice and the bourbon/rye whiskey and stir well to cool the mixture and dilute gently.
Prepare an old fashioned (rocks) glass with a large cube or ball of ice and strain the whiskey mixture over the top. Twist the piece of orange peel over the glass to let a little of the oils go in, then rub it gently around the edge of the glass before adding to the drink.
Garnish with a cinnamon stick, if you like and serve (you could also add some cloves to the orange peel strip, if you like).
