Chocolate Old Fashioned (Recipe)

This is an easy-to-make and delicious cocktail to unwind after dinner or any other time. I used Prichard's Double Chocolate Bourbon and Scrappy's Chocolate Bitters. Scrappy's can be ordered online via these retailers.

Here's what you'll need:
1 bourbon glass, or a glass that can hold at least 6 ounces
2 ice cubes (or 1 ice cube and 1 bourbon ball)

0.5 ounce chocolate bitters
0.5 ounce simple syrup or agave syrup
orange zest for garnish and aroma

Here's what you'll do:
- Place 1 ice cube or the bourbon ball in your serving glass.
- In a tall glass, add the liquid ingredients (bourbon, simple syrup, bitters) and stir with a spoon to combine.
- Add 1 ice cube and stir until the outside of the glass is frosted.
- Strain the drink out into the serving glass.
- Zest an orange with a peeler, rub the peel around the rim of the glass, twist the peel over the drink and then drop it into the cocktail.
- Enjoy!
