“Lite” Old Fashioned

It’s another chilly, wet day in the 901 so I thought a good ole bourbon cocktail #boozybodybuilder style would hit the spot. I’m not a big fan of bourbon but Adam is and I got a request several months ago to post a lower calorie old fashioned so here we go!

Here’s whatcha need for this Old Fashioned:

🥃 Bourbon- 2oz

🥃 Sugar free simple syrup- 1 pump or about a Tablespoon depending on how sweet you like it

🥃 Bitters- 3 dashes

🥃 Water- Just a splash or 2

🥃 Maraschino cherry- Optional

🥃 Orange Peel- this is to rim the glass & garnish

Directions: Put ice in a low ball glass, top with bourbon, Simple syrup, water & cherry. Run the orange peel around the rim of the glass then drop orange peel in the drink. Make a fire, sit down & enjoy! 🥂

Here is a quick stevia simple syrup recipe:

• 2 Cups of Water

• 1/4 Cup of Stevia

• Bring water to a boil then stir in stevia & stir until dissolved. It literally takes about 5 min & you can store the rest in the fridge.
