This might be my favorite drink I’ve ever made. It feels like wearing a cozy sweater while reading a book in front of a nice fire while it snows outside. It is so comforting and tasty.

Mix bitters and syrups in glass. Add ice and rye and stir until cold. Give the cocktail a light smoke with oak chips - about 10 seconds. Garnish with a sprig of spruce.

Editor's Note

Rye meets the forest in this winter-ready Old Fashioned. Cinnamon and spruce syrups provide a resinous, warming depth, finished with a touch of oak smoke.
