Notes
Tips for Making the Perfect Old Fashioned
- Make sure your apple cider is fresh and preferably unfiltered for the best flavor. The cloudy texture adds a little extra depth to the drink.
- If you want a little more warmth, you can sprinkle a bit of extra apple pie spice on top of the drink before serving.
- To give your drink a smoky twist, try using smoked apple slices or even torching the apple pie spice slightly before mixing it in.
- Use a large ice cube (or “king cube”) to keep your drink cold without watering it down too much.
