SIMPLE SYRUP OLD FASHIONED COCKTAIL RECIPE: CLASSIC AND SMOOTH

This Simple Syrup Old Fashioned cocktail recipe is the kind of drink that just gets better with time—bold, smooth, and effortlessly cool. A true classic, it keeps things simple with bourbon, bitters, and just the right touch of sweetness.

Ditch the sugar cube! Using simple syrup instead means no waiting, no grainy bits—just a silky, well-balanced cocktail that lets the bourbon do the talking. It’s rich, deep, and goes down way too easily. 

Whether you’re winding down after a long day, impressing guests with a well-made classic, or just starting your whiskey journey, the Simple Syrup Old Fashioned is a go-to. It’s easy to make, incredibly smooth, and endlessly sophisticated. 

Simple Ingredients, Timeless Flavor

A great Old Fashioned is all about balance—warm bourbon, a touch of sweetness, and a hint of spice. Here’s what you’ll need to mix the perfect Simple Syrup Old Fashioned cocktail recipe:

  • 2 oz Bourbon – A rich, full-bodied bourbon lays the foundation for this cocktail, offering warmth, caramel notes, and deep complexity. Choose one with a smooth finish to let the other ingredients shine.

  • ½ oz Simple Syrup – Skip the hassle of muddling sugar cubes. Our Simple Syrup delivers silky, even sweetness that blends effortlessly into the drink, ensuring a perfectly smooth sip every time.

  • 2 dashes Aromatic Bitters – A small but powerful ingredient. Bitters add layers of spice, herbs, and citrus, bringing depth and complexity to the bourbon.

  • Ice – A large ice cube or sphere is ideal. It chills the drink while melting slowly, preventing dilution and keeping every sip just as strong and flavorful as the first.

  • Garnish: Lemon and Orange Peel – The oils from fresh citrus peels add a subtle brightness that balances the richness of the bourbon, creating an inviting aroma and a well-rounded finish.

Bringing It All Together: A Classic Cocktail Done Right

A great Old Fashioned is about simplicity and technique—stirred, never shaken, and always made with care. Follow these steps to master the Simple Syrup Old Fashioned Cocktail:

1. Prepare Your Glass

Start with a sturdy rocks glass—it’s the perfect vessel for slow sipping and letting the flavors evolve as the ice melts.

2. Build the Drink

Pour 2 oz bourbon, ½ oz Liquid Alchemist Simple Syrup, and 2 dashes of aromatic bitters directly into the glass. No fuss, no muddling—just smooth, balanced flavor.

3. Add Ice & Stir

Drop in a large ice cube (or a few smaller ones) and stir gently but consistently for 20-30 seconds. This step is key—it chills the drink while properly diluting it, mellowing out the sharp edges and blending the flavors seamlessly.

4. Express the Citrus Peels

Hold a lemon and orange peel over the glass and firmly twist to release their essential oils. Swipe them along the rim to add a bright, fragrant layer to every sip, then drop them in as garnish.

5. Sip & Savor

Take that first sip—notice how the warm caramel and vanilla notes of the bourbon blend with the subtle sweetness of the simple syrup and the deep, aromatic spice of the bitters. Smooth, classic, and endlessly satisfying. Enjoy!

Grenadine Bourbon Rose Cocktail Recipe: Elegant and Delicious

Picture this: a dimly lit lounge, soft jazz playing in the background, and a perfectly crafted cocktail in hand. That’s the vibe of our Grenadine Bourbon Rose Cocktail recipe—a drink that’s as smooth as it is striking. This cocktail balances bold bourbon with tart lemon and just the right touch of rich, pomegranate-kissed sweetness, making every sip feel refined yet effortlessly drinkable.

But this isn’t just another whiskey cocktail. It’s a modern twist on a classic whiskey sour, offering depth, warmth, and a stunning, jewel-toned presentation. Whether you’re winding down after a long day, hosting a stylish cocktail hour, or just craving something a little extra special, the Grenadine Bourbon Rose delivers.

The secret? It’s all about balance. A great bourbon cocktail is all about finding the right grenadine, one that enhances the drink rather than just adding sugar. That’s why using a real, pomegranate-based grenadine makes all the difference, bringing in that deep, nuanced sweetness that ties everything together.

The Must-Have Ingredients for a Perfect Pour

A great cocktail doesn’t need a long list of ingredients—just the right ones. Here’s what goes into crafting the perfect Grenadine Bourbon Rose:

  • 2 oz Bourbon – A smooth, full-bodied bourbon with notes of caramel and vanilla is ideal. It gives the cocktail its warmth and depth.

  • ¾ oz Grenadine – Skip the overly sweet, artificial stuff. Our Grenadine Cocktail Syrup is made with real pomegranate for rich, nuanced sweetness that enhances, rather than overpowers.

  • ¾ oz Fresh Lemon Juice – Freshly squeezed is the only way to go. It adds the perfect touch of brightness to balance the deeper flavors.

  • Ice – Essential for shaking everything together and getting that crisp, chilled sip.

  • Garnish: Lemon Twist – A simple touch that makes a big difference. The oils from the peel add a light citrus aroma, rounding out the drink beautifully.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Your New Favorite Bourbon Cocktail

This cocktail is all about balance, smoothness, and a little flair. Follow these simple steps to create a perfectly chilled, refined sip every time.

1. Prepare Your Glassware

Start by chilling a coupe or cocktail glass. Fill it with ice water and set it aside while you mix—this keeps your drink crisp and refreshing from the first sip to the last.

2. Build the Cocktail

In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz bourbon, ¾ oz Grenadine, and ¾ oz fresh lemon juice. This mix is where the magic happens—rich, bold, and perfectly tart.

3. Shake It Like You Mean It

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 10-12 seconds. This aerates and chills the drink while blending the flavors into a smooth, well-balanced cocktail.

4. Strain & Serve

Dump the ice from your glass and strain the cocktail into the now-chilled coupe. If you want an extra-smooth texture, use a fine strainer.

5. Garnish with Elegance

Take a lemon twist and gently squeeze it over the drink to release its citrus oils, then rest it on the rim or float it on top. This small step adds a fresh, aromatic touch.

6. Sip & Savor

Now for the best part—take a sip. Notice how the bourbon’s warmth meets the tart brightness of lemon and the deep, pomegranate-kissed sweetness of grenadine. It’s smooth, layered, and effortlessly refined. Enjoy!
