How to Enjoy

For a classic Old Fashioned, combine 2 ounces of Jefferson’s Very Small Batch Bourbon with one teaspoon of simple syrup and two or three dashes of Angostura Aromatic Bitters in a mixing glass with ice. Stir until chilled, then strain over a large ice cube and garnish with an expressed orange peel. To explore different variations, use Angostura Orange Bitters for a brighter, citrus-driven cocktail, or Angostura Cocoa Bitters for deeper chocolate, spice, and nutty accents.
