2 oz Lodestar Whiskey
1 Bar Spoon Maple Syrup
2 Dashes Black Walnut Bitters
2-4 Drops 80/20 Saline Solution (optional)
Orange Peel
Bacon Garnish (optional)

Add all ingredients to a cocktail mixing glass and stir with ice. Pour into a low ball glass with 1 large ice cube and express the oils of an orange peel over the glass. Garnish with fried bacon or orange peel.

Batching instructions

For 8 cocktails, pour 750ml (1 bottle) Lodestar Whiskey, ½ cup of water, 1½ ounces of maple syrup, ½ ounce of black walnut bitters, and ½ tsp of 80/20 saline solution (optional) into a pitcher or a flip-top bottle and chill. Serve in low ball glasses with 1 large ice cube and express the oils of an orange peel over the glass.
*Adding water may seem strange, but you will not be stirring these cocktails with ice before serving so diluting with water ahead of time is key!
