Equipment

1 Old Fashioned Glass or a rocks glass
1 Bar Spoon or long handled spoon
1 Vegetable Peeler

Ingredients

1.5 teaspoon Maple Syrup
2 dashes Angostura Aromatic Bitters
3 Large Ice Cubes
2 oz Blanton's Original Bourbon or your favorite bourbon
1 2-3 inch Orange Peel use a vegetable peeler for this

Instructions

Into a cocktail glass, add maple syrup and bitters. Stir with a bar spoon.
1.5 teaspoon Maple Syrup, 2 dashes Angostura Aromatic Bitters
Into the glass add the ice cubes and bourbon. Stir with a bar spoon for about 1 minute to properly dilute the cocktail.
3 Large Ice Cubes, 2 oz Blanton's Original Bourbon
Twist the orange peel into a spiral over the glass to release the oils, then add it into the glass. Serve.
1 2-3 inch Orange Peel

Notes

Do not use crushed ice, or small ice cubes if you can help it. Smaller ice melts faster and will dilute your Blanton's Maple Old Fashioned quickly.

And don't skip the stirring! The stirring will dilute the cocktail properly. If you skip it, the drink will not taste balanced.
