Anthony has paired these frights with a classic Smokey Old Fashioned. The only fog you run towards…

Ingredients:

• 2 jiggers (3 oz) Benchmark bourbon (substitute with your favorite brand)
• 1/2 jigger (3/4 oz) maple simple syrup
• 2 dashes of Fee Brothers Old Fashion Aromatic Bitters
• 2 dashes of Fee Brothers Black Walnut Bitters

1. Add large ice cube to tumbler glass
2. Dash bitters over large Ice cube
3. Pour simple syrup and bourbon into glass and stir
4. Twist orange peel over glass and run the orange peel around the rim of the glass
5. Add orange peel and maraschino cherry to glass
