Kentucky 74 N/A Bourbon brings the oak, caramel, vanilla, and orange notes you need for an old fashioned, and you can still play around with flavors via the syrup and bitters you choose! Here’s how we’re making a Spiritless Old Fashioned right now:

2oz Kentucky 74
 
0.5oz Liber & Co Demerara Syrup
 
4 dashes Fee Brothers Black Walnut Bitters
 
  1. In a rocks glass, add four dashes of Fee Brothers Black Walnut Bitters, Kentucky 74, and then the Demerara Syrup.
  2. Add a large ice cube and stir for at least 30 seconds when your ingredients are well-incorporated and diluted to your liking.
  3. Garnish with an orange peel, and enjoy!
