Smoked Rye Old Fashioned
Jan 09, 2022
Starting off 2022 with a flame... this smoked old fashioned is a great starting point for fire-based cocktails at home. Made with our sweet potato syrup and vanilla bitters, plus rye whiskey from my family's distillery in Georgia. Tag us in your re-creations on Instagram @elguapobitters!

Makes one cocktail
- 2 oz @13thcolony Rye Whiskey
- 25 oz El Guapo® Sweet Potato Syrup
- 2 dashes El Guapo® Vanilla Bitters
- One large rock
- Orange peels, for garnishes
- Wooden plank & blowtorch
Torch one orange peel by hand or on a wooden board & place glass head down over smoking peel once lit to allow smoke to percolate inside the glass while you make the cocktail.
In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine rye, syrup & bitters. Stir until well chilled. Turn glass right side up & place one large rock in the glass. Strain cocktail over rock & garnish with an orange peel. Serve immediately. Cheers!
