Smoother Than A Horse On Skates

A refreshing take on an Old Fashioned/Improved Whiskey Cocktail from Halifax’s Bar Kismet The essential oils from the twist and orange bitters work with the citrus notes in the Luxardo Bitter to accentuate the barrel spice and oak notes in the bourbon while the Yellow Chartreuse adds a touch of herbal sweetness 1.5 oz Bourbon .75 oz Luxardo Bitter Bianco .25 oz Yellow Chartreuse (lower ABV, sweeter version of the more famous French Green Chartreuse) 3 dashes Orange Bitters (I like to combine the cardamom-spice and orange peel heavy Regan’s Orange with the more OJ/essential oil forward Angostura Orange for more nuanced flavor) Stir with ice, strain into chilled double rocks glass with a few ice cubes. Garnish with an orange twist
