Strawberry Basil Old Fashioned Bourbon Cocktail
A twist on the classic Old Fashioned cocktail with bourbon, fresh strawberries and basil
Ingredients
- 1 slice Orange - an orange wheel slice that's been cut into quarters
- 1 whole Strawberry - cut into quarters
- 2 or 3 leaves Fresh Basil Leaves
- 1/2 oz Simple syrup - 1/2 to 3/4 oz, if you like it sweeter
- 3 to 4 dashes Angostura bitters
- 1 splash Sparkling Water - optional (I used a splash of soda water to top off)
- 2 oz Bourbon
Instructions
- In a mixing glass or directly into your rocks glass: add orange pieces, strawberry chunks, basil leaf, and bitters. Muddle these 4 ingredients until crushed and combined.
- Now add one or two large cocktail ice cubes to the same glass, and use a jigger to measure and splash in simple syrup plus the bourbon.
- Stir everything together with a bar spoon until fruit and bourbon are combined and everything is chilled through: about 30 to 40 seconds.
- (Optional) Add a little splash of sparkling water to top it off. Serve ice cold, chilled.
