Cheers to the weekend with this Pecan Old Fashioned. My favorite cocktail during the holidays. Who am I kidding? It’s my favorite cocktail year-round! 

You can make an old fashioned with rye whiskey or bourbon, but my preference is to use a rye so that the cocktail is not too sweet. However, use what you enjoy.  We use sazeracrye by buffalotracedistillery in this recipe, because it is easy to find at your local liquor store and it is delicious. I use my homemade simple pecan syrup. You can sub any simple syrup you like or you can also muddle a sugar cube instead. As always, all of my recipes can be found at MeatChurch.com, but here ya go:

Instructions:
Pour the 2 oz of sazeracrye whiskey, 1/2 oz of pecan simple syrup, 2 dashes of angostura bitters and 2 dashes of black walnut bitters in an iced mixing glass. Stir with a bar spoon to combine. 
Pour over a large cube in a low ball or rocks glass. 
Express an orange peel around the rim and garnish with it as well as a luxardo cherry and one of the pecans from the simple syrup.

To make Pecan Simple Syrup:
Add the 3 C brown sugar, 3 C water and 1 C pecan to a small pot. Bring to a simmer for 60 minutes. Strain out the pecans. Set aside. 

Allow the simple syrup to cool. It can be stored in a refrigerator for up to one month.

Optionally, dry the pecans on parchment paper. Bonus points if you season them with Meat Church BBQ rubs and smoke them to dry. Store in an airtight container. Cheers!
