Method
Cocktail
Build and Stir
Place a mixing glass or small shaker over ice. Add 0.5 oz rich Demerara syrup, 3 dashes Angostura bitters and 1 dash orange bitters. Pour in 2 oz Old Grand-Dad bourbon. Stir gently with a bar spoon for 20–30 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted (glass should feel very cold).
Prepare Glass
Place one large ice cube or ice ball into a chilled Old Fashioned (rocks) glass.
Strain
Strain the chilled cocktail from the mixing glass into the prepared rocks glass over the large ice cube.
Garnish and Finish
Express an orange peel over the drink by holding it with the outside facing down and giving it a firm twist to release oils across the surface; rub the peel around the rim and drop it into the glass. Add one Luxardo cherry to the glass (skewer optional). Serve immediately.
Optional adjustments: If you prefer a sweeter Old Fashioned, increase Demerara syrup to 0.75 oz. For a drier, brighter profile omit the orange bitters or reduce Angostura to 2 dashes.
