Chris Hannah’s Old-Fashioned

Chris Hannah, Arnaud's French 75 | New Orleans

Chris Hannah’s recipe, which came in second place in our recent blind-tasting, calls for a high-rye bourbon (Bulleit was employed for the tasting), two muddled demerara sugar cubes, two dashes each of Angostura and NOLA’s own Peychaud’s and an orange twist. The judges thought the drink likably strong, with the correct sugar level.
