Old Peaty Fall Cocktail Classic

Fall is a time for outdoor exploring, watching leaves change colors and my personal favorite — campfires! So my question is why not get the entire season packed into a glass that fits neatly in your hand? The good news is that there’s a recipe for that.
Nothing says fall like bourbon, and few bourbon cocktails are as great as an Old Fashioned. The union of bourbon, bitters and sugar come together to make this classic libation both simple to create and even simpler to enjoy. This easy twist on the Old Fashioned uses a small bit of that peaty, smoky scotch that you may have lying around waiting to find a good use for. It will bring a subtly sweet campfire sensation to your eagerly waiting taste buds. Stir one up, stoke the autumn flames and truly take in the season with this classic twist.
