Toasted Pecan Old Fashioned

Make the Toasted Pecan Whiskey

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Place the pecans on a baking sheet. Transfer to the preheated oven.
3. Toast the pecans for 5-10 minutes or until browned and fragrant. (Keep an eye on them, as you could potentially burn them if not paying attention!)
4. Remove from the oven, and let cool to room temperature.
5. Transfer the cooled pecans to a mason jar, and pour the whiskey on top of them.
6. Let the whiskey infuse for 3-4 days. (Don't go any longer than 4 days, as the pecans could dry the whiskey out.)

Make the Toasted Pecan Old Fashioned

1. In an Old Fashioned or your favorite whiskey glass, measure the sugar cube/loose sugar and dash in the Angostura bitters.
2. Use a muddler to break down the sugar cube and combine it with the bitters, coating the sides of the glass as the sugar and bitters mix.
3. Place a large ice cube (or whiskey stones) in the glass. Pour the Toasted Pecan Whiskey over it, swirling it to mix with the bitters and sugar mixture.
4. Enjoy immediately!
