The Pedro's Old Fashioned

by Richard More

A smooth, slightly sweet twist on the classic Old Fashioned, with rich bourbon, aromatic bitters, and just enough candied jalapeño flavor to keep things interesting.

5 minutes · 1 cocktail

Ingredients

  • 2 oz bourbon

  • ¼ oz For Pedro's Sake Candied Jalapeño syrup

  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters

  • 1–2 small pieces candied jalapeños

  • Orange peel

  • Large ice cube

Instructions

  1. Add the candied jalapeños and syrup to a mixing glass and gently muddle.

  2. Add bourbon, bitters, and ice.

  3. Stir for approximately 20–30 seconds.

  4. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube.

  5. Express an orange peel over the glass and use it as garnish.

Pedro's Tip: Cherry Candied Jalapeños would be my first choice here. The cherry sweetness pairs beautifully with bourbon, but Cranberry and Original also work well.
