A symphony of whiskey and fruit, the Whiskey Orchard Breeze is a charming dance between robust and playful.
Did you know?
The Old Fashioned glass, also known as a rocks glass, dates back to the 18th century and was originally called a whiskey tumbler.
Imagine yourself wandering through an orchard, the branches swaying gently in the breeze, heavy with fruit. That’s the essence we’ve bottled in our Whiskey Orchard Breeze cocktail. Whiskey, with its rich and storied past stretching from Celtic monks to American speakeasies, gets enlivened with the sun-kissed sweetness of orchard fruits in this charming concoction. Perfect for an evening where stories flow as freely as the drinks, this cocktail balances the robustness of whiskey with a playful fruity zing, all served in the timeless Old Fashioned glass.
Just as an Old Master's painting enchants with layers of color and depth, our Whiskey Orchard Breeze builds complexities sip by sip. A hint of citrus from the orange peel garnish dances on the nose, beckoning you to discover what lies beneath: a melody of fruit and aged spirit. This drink is a toast to timeless elegance with a mischievous wink, chillingly delightful for any occasion that begs for a dash of sophistication with a fruity twist.
Ingredients
To create this harmonious blend, you'll need a carefully curated selection of ingredients that bridge the gap between the hearty complexity of whiskey and the refreshing burst of fruit.

- 15 ml orange liqueur
- 15 ml cherry syrup
- 2 dashes of Angostura bitters

Steps
Now, let's craft your cocktail with the same care a painter takes with their palette, creating a masterpiece from these liquid hues.
Chill the glass beforehand to keep your cocktail perfectly chilled longer.
- In an Old Fashioned glass, muddle the fresh peach slice gently to release its juices.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the spirits as they settle.
- Pour in the whiskey, followed by the orange liqueur and cherry syrup.
- Add the Angostura bitters, which act like the spice in our fruit-laden journey.
- Stir the mixture gently until all the flavors are seamlessly combined.
- Express the orange peel over the glass to release its oils and rim the edge before dropping it in as a garnish.
