Paloma Old Fashioned

Welcome back, or if it’s your first time here, take a seat, and I’ll fix you a drink.

Today, we are going to look at a Paloma Old Fashioned, also known as a Big Texan Bourbon and Grapefruit, or even a Brown Derby. There are a few nuances between each of those drinks, and I like my name.

This is an unusual blend of grapefruit and bourbon with some honey syrup.

Let's start with some ingredients:

• 1 1/2 oz Bourbon
• 1 oz Grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed
• 1/2 oz Honey Syrup (sugar syrup made with honey instead of sugar)
• Garnish: Grapefruit twist or wedge

What Glass should I use,…

• Preffered: Coupe
• Acceptable: Rocks

What hardware do I need?

• Shaker
• Strainer
• Fine strainer / Tea strainer

Directions - Let's do this; let's make a drink!

Add your Bourbon to a shaker with some ice.

Add your Honey Syrup.

Pour the Grapefruit juice in

Shake

Strain into a spare glass, or if you used a Boston shaker, strain into the empty half.

Add some crushed ice into our glass

Next we strain again using the fine strainer into our Glass,

Garnish

Enjoy

Tips
