Joaquín Simó’s Old-Fashioned

Joaquín Simó, Pouring Ribbons | New York

Placing in third in our recent blind tasting, Simó‘s recipe calls on two ounces of Russell’s Reserve 10 Year Old Bourbon, a quarter-ounce of rich demerara syrup and three types of bitters. The tasters thought the drink spicy and complex, with the sugar content and mouth-feel right on the money.
