Rye Old Fashioned

Name: Rye Old Fashioned
Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients: Rye Whiskey; Demerara syrup; Orange bitters; Aromatic Bitters; Orange Peel; Cocktail Cherry

A bolder, spicier take on the classic, made with rye whiskey, demerara syrup, aromatic and orange bitters, finished with an expressed orange peel and a cocktail cherry. Drier and less sweet than the bourbon version - because even Grandpa missed curfew sometimes.
