My all time favourite The Old Fashioned just got taken to another level thanks to the smoked simple syrup on my Grillfriend from RONA Capital Building Supplies. Credit to the Traeger Recipe guide for this one.
Mix 2 cups of water with 2 cups of sugar in a baking pan and put into a 225°F smoker for 2 hours stirring occasionally to help the sugar dissolve. Once cooled your left with a dark liquid that will enhance your mocktails and cocktails.
My recipe is pretty easy:
1.5oz Bourbon Whiskey…(I used Crown)
1-2 bars spoons of smoked simple Syrup
3-6 dashes of bitters (I use orange bitters and regular)
Stir over ice
Serve on a big ice cube in a fancy cup with an orange peel
