Key Ingredients:
Bourbon or whiskey: this is an alcohol-forward cocktail, so using premium spirits is key; I used my favorite bourbon that I usually drink neat, Willet Pot Still. But any premium bourbon will do!
Peach liqueur: same goes for the peach liqueur; using a high-quality liqueur is essential to compliment the bourbon. I use Mathilde in this recipe.
Orange Bitters: two dashes of bitters adds balance to the cocktail.
Ice: use a slow-melting large ice cube to reduce the amount of water that melts into the cocktail.
How to make this recipe:
This is a simple recipe and comes together in a pinch!
- Add 2 ounces bourbon to an old-fashioned glass.
- Followed by 1 ounce of peach liqueur.
- Add 2 dashes of orange bitters.

FAQ's
An Old Fashioned is traditionally made by muddling sugar and bitters together and then adding bourbon and garnishing with an orange slice and a cocktail cherry. This peach version omits the sugar and adds peach liqueur.
I used Willet Pot Still Reserve for this recipe, but Woodford Reserve, Angels Envy, and Four Roses Small Batch are other good options.
