Old fashioned recipe

[Unclebilbo]

Has any one attempted an 'old fashioned' for those that don't know it's an old American whiskey cocktail consisting of Rye whiskey, sugar, angostura bitters, and orange peel over ice.
Most flavours are easy enough but dunno if there's anything to mimic the bitters, any ideas?

Cheers.

Funny you should say that. I was drinking some Kinnie last night and was thinking hmmm, this would make an awesome vape!

TFA (and I a sure others) do Sour concentrate.
Never tried it but if your first effort doesn't work you could give that a go?

The genuine bitter has a shed load of ingredients I don't think a simple sour will work but if the ccw one doesn't work I'll give it a whirl.

Fingers crossed for you. I'm imagining bitters + blood orange = Maltese Kinnie heaven
