This magnificent drink is a creative twist on the classic Old Fashioned, perfect for those who appreciate the warmth of whiskey with a hint of autumn's bounty. It's served in a traditional old-fashioned glass, symbolizing a bridge between the classic and the innovative. **Ingredients:** - 2 oz bourbon whiskey - 1/2 oz spiced apple syrup (homemade or store-bought) - 2 dashes of orange bitters - 1 dash of angostura bitters - Orange peel (for garnish) - Thinly sliced apple round (for garnish) - A small cinnamon stick (for garnish) **Instructions:** 1. Begin by adding the spiced apple syrup into the bottom of an old-fashioned glass. 2. Add both the orange bitters and angostura bitters to the syrup. 3. Fill the glass with large ice cubes, preferable one or two big cubes that don’t melt quickly, to keep the drink concentrated. 4. Pour the bourbon whiskey over the ice. 5. Stir the mix gently until the outside of the glass feels chilled. 6. Twist a piece of orange peel over the glass to release its oils then drop it into the drink. 7. Carefully float a thin slice of apple on top of the drink for an elegant look. 8. Place a small cinnamon stick as a garnish to complete the autumnal theme. The Twilight Orchard Old Fashioned is an invitation to savor the richness of whiskey, the sweetness of apple, and the comforting warmth of spices.
