This spiced cherry old fashioned is a cherry spin on the traditional old fashioned and combines cherries, brown sugar, and cinnamon and transforms it into a very drinkable bourbon cocktail!

Ingredients

Simple syrup:

  • 2 cups pitted cherries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 cinnamon sticks 

Cocktail:

  • 1 1/2 ounces bourbon
  • 1 ounce syrup
  • 1 dash spiced cherry bitters

Instructions

  1.  Start by combining 2 cups pitted cherries, 1 cup water, 1 cup brown sugar, and 3 cinnamon sticks in a pot and cook until the cherries are soft (about 20 minutes). Remove from heat, let cool, and then strain.
  2. Then add ice to an old fashioned glass (or to a mixing glass), top with 1 1/2 ounces bourbon.
  3.  Top with 1 ounce of the syrup and 1 dash of spiced cherry bitters. Stir to combine.
  4. Garnish with fresh cherries
