Instructions

The Buffalo Trace Eclipse Old Fashioned is a celestial twist on the classic cocktail, inspired by the smooth and rich flavors of Buffalo Trace bourbon, paired with a specially crafted syrup that brings a hint of smokiness and sweetness. The drink is rounded out with a dash of bitters to enhance the bourbon's natural complexity and served over a large ice sphere that evokes the image of a lunar eclipse. Ingredients: - 2 oz Buffalo Trace Bourbon - 1/2 oz Charred Cedar and Maple Syrup (see instructions below) - 2 dashes Angostura Bitters - 1 dash Orange Bitters - Orange peel (for garnish) - Luxardo Maraschino Cherry (for garnish) - Large ice sphere or cube Charred Cedar and Maple Syrup: - 1/2 cup pure maple syrup - 1 small cedar plank (food grade, soaked in water) Instructions for Charred Cedar and Maple Syrup: 1. Preheat your grill or a dry skillet on high heat. 2. Place the soaked cedar plank on the grill or skillet and heat until it starts to smoke and char slightly, about 1-2 minutes on each side. 3. Quickly remove the cedar plank from the heat, and while it's still smoking, place it in a shallow dish. 4. Pour the maple syrup over the charred cedar plank, allowing it to infuse for about 30 minutes. 5. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any cedar particles. Store in an airtight container. Cocktail Instructions: 1. In a mixing glass, combine Buffalo Trace Bourbon, the charred cedar and maple syrup, Angostura Bitters, and Orange Bitters. 2. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir until well chilled, about 30 seconds. 3. Place a large ice sphere in a double old-fashioned glass. 4. Strain the cocktail over the ice sphere in the glass. 5. Express the orange peel over the drink by twisting it to release the oils, then run the peel around the rim of the glass to coat it. Drop the peel into the drink. 6. Add the Luxardo Maraschino Cherry as the final garnish. Serve the Buffalo Trace Eclipse Old Fashioned in a double old-fashioned glass, and enjoy the slow sipping experience as the flavors meld and the ice slowly melts, much like an eclipse transitions in the sky.
