Batched Old Fashioned
Batched Cocktails
Ingredients
- Bourbon750 ml
- Rich Simple Syrup50 ml
- Angostura Bitters15 ml
- Water190 ml
Method
- 1.Combine bourbon, syrup, and bitters in a large container.
- 2.Add water for dilution — this replaces the ~20% dilution from stirring over ice.
- 3.Stir to combine. Bottle and refrigerate or keep at room temp.
- 4.Pour 3 oz per serving over a large ice cube.
- 5.Garnish with an expressed orange peel.
Notes
- Water is essential — without it the batch will be too strong and the syrup/bitters won't integrate properly.
- If building to order instead, omit the water. Build in a rocks glass: syrup, bitters, bourbon, stir with a large cube for 10-15 seconds.
- Room temp storage is fine since there's no vermouth or juice — keeps for months.
