Rum Old Fashioned

Liza Weisstuch
Brawny, aged styles of run boast a complexity that results from maturation in oak. A sweeter dark rum adds a solid base note and suppleness to the rum old fashioned cocktail.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon simple syrup
  • 4 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 2 orange slices
  • 2 maraschino cherries
  • 2 ounces dark rum

Instructions
 

  • In a double rocks glass, add simple syrup, bitters, one orange slice, and one cherry. Muddle. Add rum and ice and stir well. Garnish with the remaining orange slice and cherry.
