Description: The Eclipse of the Old Fashioned is a contemporary twist on the classic cocktail, featuring a bold yet subtly sweet harmony of flavors. This creation aims to respect the essence of an Old Fashioned while taking your taste buds on a thrilling journey of new sensations, anchored by the depth of charred oak syrup and kissed by the exotic touch of star anise. Ingredients: - 2 oz. Rye whiskey or bourbon - 1/2 oz. Charred oak syrup - 2 dashes Black walnut bitters - 1 dash Orange bitters - 1 Star anise pod - 1 Wide strip of orange peel - 1 Brandy-soaked cherry, for garnish Instructions: 1. In a mixing glass, combine the rye whiskey or bourbon with the charred oak syrup and both bitters. 2. Add ice to the mixing glass until it's three-quarters full, then stir smoothly for about 30 seconds, chilling the mixture without diluting it too much. 3. In a chilled double Old Fashioned glass, drop in the star anise pod. 4. Strain the stirred cocktail over the star anise in the prepared glass filled with a large ice cube or ice sphere. 5. Express the orange peel over the drink by giving it a good twist to release the oils, then run it around the rim of the glass and drop it on top as a garnish. 6. Finish by adding the brandy-soaked cherry alongside the orange peel. Type of Glass: Double Old Fashioned glass Serving the Eclipse of the Old Fashioned in a double Old Fashioned glass gives this innovative concoction the stature and respect reminiscent of its classic roots while allowing enough room for the aromas to entice the senses before the first sip.
