Burnt Orange old Fashioned and Twisted Old Fashioned

No ratings yet
Bourbon is synonymous with barbecue, so why not take a bourbon based cocktail, the Old Fashioned, and give it a barbecue twist.
The Old Fashioned traditionally uses a twist of orange peel, here we take the peel and a slice or two of the orange and grill them to burn the edges and add a bit of a barbecue twist.
For those of you who aren't bourbon fans, I've done a second version that uses the orange juice to add sweetness.
