# Top of the Marq House Old Fashioned

A spicy, robust rye-forward cocktail featuring unique botanical notes.

## Ingredients

* 2 oz Rossville Union Master Crafted Rye Whiskey (or premium straight rye)

* 1/4 oz simple syrup (1:1 ratio)

* 2–3 dashes Bolivar Bitters

* 1 premium maraschino cherry (such as Luxardo)

* 1 thick strip fresh orange peel

## Instructions

1. Combine the rye whiskey, simple syrup, and Bolivar bitters in a heavy mixing glass.

2. Fill the glass with large ice cubes. Stir continuously with a bar spoon for 20 to 30 seconds until perfectly chilled and slightly diluted.

3. Place one large, solid ice sphere or large cube into a rocks glass. Strain the chilled cocktail over the fresh ice.

4. Hold the orange peel over the glass skin-side down and twist it tightly to express the citrus oils across the surface of the drink. Drop the peel into the glass and garnish with a premium maraschino cherry.
