Woodford Reserve Old Fashioned

Ingredients:                   
•    2 oz Bourbon                    
•    .75 oz Vanilla Simple Syrup                                      
•    1 Fresh Orange Wedge             
•    1 Bordeaux Cherry        
•    2 dashes Angostura Bitters              

Procedure:
1.    Combine all the ingredients into mixing glass, except Bourbon and muddle.  
2.    Pack mixing glass with ice, add Bourbon and roll twice.  
3.    Strain into a rocks glass with ice.   
4.    Garnish with Bordeaux cherry and orange wedge peel.  

Helpful Hints:
•    You can use any Bourbon you prefer. 
•    Best served over a large ice cube. Recommend a large square or circular ice mold for best results.  
•    Fun Fact: Have you ever wondered why some cocktail taste better over large ice cubes? Large ice cubes have a smaller surface area than a glass packed with small ice cubes causing the ice to melt more slowly and allowing the drinker to sip & enjoy their cocktail over a longer span of time without the cocktail becoming watered down.
