Smooth, rich, and perfect for holiday hosting — this Freezer Door Maple Old Fashioned is your set-and-forget version of a classic. Bourbon gives you warmth, maple syrup adds seasonal sweetness, walnut bitters bring depth, and a touch of water pre-dilutes it so it pours perfectly straight from the freezer. This one is built for easy entertaining.

PSA: Make a smoked apple pie syrup this month. Make a lot.
Remember when I made a smoked apple pie syrup on my @traegergrills to make an Apple Pie a La Mode whiskey sour? No? Well check it out a couple posts back because it was firrrrreeee.
Anyways, I figured I’d put that syrup to good use in an Old Fashioned and it worked out way better than I could have ever imagined. Up next - the batched version!
