It was a beautiful Spring Saturday and that called for bourbon. Because. BOURBON.
This past weekend I seriously couldn’t believe the weather. I woke up Saturday morning, walked to the window, rubbed my eyes and did a double-take. It was SUNNY. And warm. And WARM. Ahhhhhh. Seriously. Heaven.
So of course, this calls for a celebration with something refreshing. What’s more refreshing that bourbon and fresh squeezed orange juice you ask?
The answer would be – nothing!
So let’s get straight into the easy cocktail. I got my inspiration from the amazing Adrianna over at A Cozy Kitchen. She created this Grapefruit Old Fashioned that LITERALLY made my mouth water. Sheesh! I wasn’t interested in the tart of the grapefruit, but orange definitely sounded tasty.
INGREDIENTS
Drink:
2 oranges
Angostura Aromatic bitters
Bourbon of choice (I used Jim Bean)
Sparkling water
Ice
DIRECTIONS
- Juice the ranges juice into a measuring cup.
- Add all of the orange juice to shaker, along with two to three dashes of the Angostura Aromatic bitters, 2 shots of bourbon, a splash of sparkling water and ice.
- Shake, pour and enjoy. Garnish with an orange slice.
Viva la Spring!
