Of course you do. We all do. That's what Fall is all about, Charlie Brown. And I've got the recipe - and the simple syrup!- for you!You'll need Huckleberry Spruce Tip syrup, so to make that happen!

In my recipe, the Simple Goodness Sisters simple syrup () takes the place of the classic sugar cube to add sweetness and mellow out the whiskey. Try the recipe with Rhubarb Vanilla Bean, for a tart-sweet punch, where the vanilla complements the caramelly toast flavors of bourbon aged in oak barrels. We also love it with the Lemon Herb paired with a sharp, bright 100% rye whiskey- super unique with the herbal back notes! The only recipe we haven't tried with it is the Marionberry Mint, since the mint would overwhelm the bitters and orange twist and turn it into more of a Julep variation (a bourbon, fresh mint, and sugar cube cocktail enjoyed at the Kentucky Derby.)Make an Old Fashioned today using your , take a photo, then tag us on social media so we can see your syrup + spirit combo! Now with that out of the way, now lift your glass, and cheers to slower times and slower sipping!

glass: heavy rocks glass

ingredients:

• 2 ounces Batch 206 Old Log Cabin Bourbon or, depending on your tastes and the syrup you're using, experiment with rye whiskey or a blended whiskey
• 1 barspoon Rhubarb Vanilla Bean, Huckleberry Spruce Tip, Lemon Herb, or other Simple Goodness Sisters syrup
• 1 dash aromatic bitters
• 1 dash citrus bitters (we make ours, but bitterhousewife has a good one too)
• light splash of club soda optional
• ice (use a large square cube mold or just a single cube of ice)
• orange twist
• optional garnishes-edible flowers, cinnamon stick

How to make it: In a heavy bottom rocks glass, dash the bitters to the bottom of the glass. Add a barspoon of simple syrup and stir. Add your ice cube and pour the 2 ounces of whiskey over the top of the cube. Give one gentle swirl to the drink. Add a splash of club soda, if desired, and the take your citrus twist (a skinny section of citrus peel that has been carefully shaved off the fruit without removing the white part or "pith", as this part brings bitterness to the drink.) Rub the twist along the inside of the glass rim, and then hold both ends in your fingers and give it one counter clockwise turn over the top of the glass. Curl the ends to a spiral and drop it in the glass. Happy drinking, friends!
