Chocolate Orange Old Fashioned Recipe

With homemade orange simple syrup, chocolate bitters, and Jefferson’s Ocean Bourbon this Chocolate Orange Old Fashioned will be a favorite.

I’ve partnered with Jefferson’s Bourbon to create this cocktail. Make sure to get your tickets to Bourbon + Beyond this year.

Two of my favorite flavors (next to bourbon, of course) are chocolate and orange. One of my favorite candies, when I was younger, was Jaffas, and if you haven’t tried a chocolate-orange Aero bar you are missing out. I recently came across a box of dark chocolate orange truffles and they inspired me to create this cocktail.

Chocolate orange old fashioned

Before you start making our chocolate orange old fashioned, you need to do two things.

1. Freeze large ice cubes
2. Make our orange simple syrup recipe

Orange simple syrup

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 2 cups sugar
• Juice from half an orange
• Zest from one orange

Instructions

Add the orange juice, water, sugar, and orange zest to a small saucepan. Cook on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. As you bring it to a boil the sugar will dissolve.

Remove from the heat and then strain your orange simple syrup to remove the zest pieces. Allow it to cool to room temperature and then pour it into a bottle or canning jar.

Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
