Smoked Old Fashioned

With a few adjustments, I found something that has never failed to impress and delight friends and acquaintances. Now, I want to share it with you so you can share it with your friends!

Ingredients
- 1 brown sugar cube
- 7 drops of Angostura bitters
- 1 part of smoky/peaty scotch
- 2 parts of bourbon
- ½ part orange liqueur
- orange slice
- smoked cherry
Instructions

Notes
I made the brown sugar cubes from dark brown sugar and my teaspoon measuring spoon. I tapped them out onto a baking sheet and let the sugar dry for 2 - 3 days in a cold oven. Once dry, they can be bagged in a zip top bag or snap lid container.
I used the following ingredients:
Hamiltons Islay Blended Scotch Whisky
Bulleit Bourbon
Grand Imperial Orange Liqueur
