This drink goes back to the 1800’s and has many different variations, but this is how we make it at Port Chilkoot Distillery.
Recipe:
1.5 oz Wrackline Rye
¼ oz Demerara syrup
3 Dashes Angostura bitters
Orange peel
Add all ingredients into rocks glass. Add 3 cubes of ice and stir for 20 seconds. Essence the rim of the glass with an orange peel and then add the orange twist to the drink for a garnish. Cocktail cherries are a great garnish, too!
How to make demerara syrup:
Mix ¼ cup demerara sugar with ½ cup of boiling water. Stir until dissolved. *Can sub 1 teaspoon raw sugar instead of syrup. Just be sure to stir well!
