A classic bourbon Old Fashioned muddled with sweet pear and a Luxardo cherry.
6 steps, about 4 minutes start to finish.
Place pear slice in the bottom of a rocks glass.
Add simple syrup and bitters.
Add a large ice cube or ice ball.
Pour bourbon over the ice.
Stir gently to combine.
Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
“Nestle the pear slice at the bottom with the syrup and bitters to pull out its flavor before the bourbon goes in. Use one big ice cube so it chills the drink slowly without watering it down too fast.”
