Think that banana syrup I fell in dearest with, well, I'm back pairing it with bourbon today in a Assistant Erstwhile Fashioned. The intense assistant flavour of the syrup reminds me of really moist banana bread. Then of grade I want to pair it with Old Forester for those aromas of banana bread that spread deliciously through the air when mixing or baking with it.
I'm pairing the banana staff of life flavors with black walnut bitters to add some of that nuttiness. If yous're a chocolate chip banana bread person, add some chocolate bitters to the mixing glass to add notes of chocolate to the cocktail.

I make a lot of sometime fashioneds, and this one is in the top two or iii for the year. It's an amazing cocktail I designed merely for bourbon lovers for 1 elementary reason. It is all about the bourbon. This is non a cocktail that hides the bourbon. The bourbon is front and heart and paired with nuttiness from the bitters and assistant from the syrup. Both those elements only push the bourbon front and middle here.

How to Brand the Assistant Old Fashioned
Add together ½ oz of the luscious banana syrup to a mixing glass, 2 oz of bourbon (Old Forester preferred), and 2 dashes of Fee Brothers Black Walnut bitters. Add together ice, stir until chilled. I normally under dilute an onetime fashioned if I want to sip on information technology for a while so information technology doesn't go watery while I'm drinking it.
Strain into a rocks drinking glass with one big cube. I garnished it with a knotted vanilla bean. That turned out to be an fantabulous choice.
