Description

Ingredients

• ½ cup toasted pecans
• 1½ cups whiskey or bourbon (a good drinking one!)
• 1 sugar cube (or ½ teaspoon granulated sugar)
• 4 dashes Angostura bitters
• 2 oz. Toasted Pecan Whiskey

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Place the pecans on a baking sheet. Transfer to the preheated oven.
• Toast the pecans for 10-15 minutes (or until browned and fragrant.)
• Remove from the oven, and let cool to room temperature.
• Transfer the cooled pecans to a mason jar, and pour the whiskey on top of them.
• Let the pecans and whiskey infuse for 3-4 days. (Or longer, if you so choose! It just depends on how much toasted pecan taste youd like to have come through in your final drink.)
• In an Old Fashioned glass (or your favorite whiskey glass), measure the sugar cube/loose sugar and dash in the Angostura bitters.
• Using a muddler, break down the sugar cube and combine it with the bitters, coating the sides of the glass as the sugar and bitters mix.
• Place whiskey stones or a large ice cube, then pour the Toasted Pecan Whiskey over the cubes, swirling it to mix with the bitters and sugar mixture.
• Enjoy immediately!
