Toasted Pecan Old Fashioned
Description
This Toasted Pecan Old Fashioned cocktail starts by making a toasted pecan-infused whiskey. Pecans are toasted until fragrant and brown, then cooled before being placed in a mason jar with a quality drinking whiskey. The mixture is left to infuse for 3 to 4 days, allowing the nutty, toasted aromas and flavors to meld with the whiskey.
To prepare the cocktail, a sugar cube or granulated sugar is muddled with a few dashes of Angostura bitters in an Old Fashioned glass. A large ice cube is added, and the pecan-infused whiskey is poured over, stirred to combine the flavors. The resulting drink offers a classic whiskey cocktail experience accented with a subtle toasted nut character from the infusion.
The recipe yields enough toasted pecan whiskey for six cocktails, while the cocktail instructions provided make one drink at a time. This approach lets one prepare the flavored whiskey in advance and enjoy individually crafted drinks with a distinct nutty profile that complements the traditional Old Fashioned components.
Ingredients
Toasted Pecan Whiskey (Makes enough for SIX drinks)
- ½ cup pecans toasted
- 1 ½ cups whiskey a good drinking one!
Toasted Pecan Old Fashioned
- 1 sugar cube or ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
- 4 dashes Angostura bitters
- 2 oz. whiskey recipe above, Toasted Pecan flavor
- ice spherical cube
Instructions
Make the Toasted Pecan Whiskey
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Place the pecans on a baking sheet. Transfer to the preheated oven.
- 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!)
- 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 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
- In an Old Fashioned or your favorite whiskey glass, measure the sugar cube/loose sugar and dash in the Angostura bitters.
- 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.
- 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.
- Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- The pecan-infused whiskey recipe produces enough for six cocktails, making it convenient to prepare the base in advance.
