Indulge in the rich complexity of the Chocolate Old Fashioned, a modern masterpiece built on tradition. This cocktail elegantly marries the single malt notes of Virginia Distillery Company Courage & Conviction with the earthy sweetness of maple syrup. Subtly enhanced by Angostura Chocolate Bitters, every sip offers a velvety, aromatic journey. It’s the ultimate, spirit-forward nightcap, perfect for savoring slowly in a Rocks glass.
Prep: Gather your Courage & Conviction single malt, maple syrup, and Angostura Chocolate Bitters, along with your mixing glass and preferred Rocks glass. Carefully peel a fresh slice of orange for garnishing.
Mix: Combine the single malt, maple syrup, and dashes of chocolate bitters directly into the mixing glass.
Stir: Add fresh ice to the mixing glass and stir the ingredients with a bar spoon until properly chilled and diluted to your liking.
Serve: Strain the perfectly chilled mixture into the Rocks glass over a large, fresh cube or sphere of ice.
Garnish: Express the essential oils from the fresh orange peel over the surface of the drink, then place the peel in the glass and finish with a light shaving of dark chocolate.
