This one is really simple, on purpose. Because a great whiskey doesn't need a lot of dressing up. Grab your favorite whiskey glass (rocks, nosing, whatever you prefer) Add 1-2 oz of Kelley Single Malt Whiskey Hold it in your hand so your hand warms it just a bit so you can smell it even better. Enjoy. MODIFICATION Add an ice cube or a tiny splash of water. Either of these will proof it down a little bit more and change the character. An Old Fashioned is a great whiskey cocktail. It's of broader appeal than straight whiskey for some people, with a little extra sweet making it more enjoyable for some. Headframe's House Old Fashioned incorporates the flavors of Earl Gray Tea and extra real vanilla bean to create a richer, more complex Old Fashioned. In a rocks glass, combine: 3/4 oz Earl Grey infused simple syrup (Headframe sells this in our Tasting Room and at shop.headframespirits.com. Simplified recipe below.) 3 good dashes of angostura bitters A small splash of water Swirl until combined Add 1 oz bourbon, then top with ice Garnish with an orange slice and a good cherry. We recommend Bada Bing Cherries (also sold in the Tasting Room and at shop.headframespirits.com). EARL GREY SIMPLE SYRUP RECIPE In a small saucepan heat 1 cup of water. When it boils add 2 cups of sugar and 2 bags of your favorite Earl Grey tea. Simmer 5 minutes, then let cool. Store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. NOTE: This isn't quite the House Old Fashioned. For the real experience, you'll need to come to our Tasting Room and let us make it for you ourselves. Or experiment at home. Old Fashioneds, while there are formal recipes, also do really well with experimentation. Try other flavor bitters, other types of whiskey or other infused simple syrups to achieve your own favorite variation. Headframe Mixed Drink Recipes Dirty Girl Kelley Neat House Old Fashioned
