In the second episode of Old Forester’s Cocktail Chronicles, Austin bartender Aisling Gammill shows us how to put a plummy twist on an old fashioned.

Follow her recipe below to re-create the drink for yourself.

Tchaikovsky Old Fashioned
Yields 1 drink

2 ounces of Old Forester Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky
.5 ounce of plum cordial
2-3 dashes Abbott’s bitters
Cloves
1 lemon

Start by toasting cloves under a glass.

Add the whisky, plum cordial, and bitters to a glass, along with ice to dilute, then stir.

Strain and pour the drink over one large-format ice cube in smoked glass.

Express lemon oil over the drink, and garnish with lemon peel and cloves.
