The Cocktail Chronicles
Cuddle up to this Austin bartender's strong and smooth cocktail
Simple, yet with a hint of mystery, the classic old fashioned gets an extra kick thanks to bartender Chelsey Salisbury's choice of bourbon: the 95-proof Old Forester Statesman.
The powerful liquor is so smooth, though, that it practically cuddles you as you drink.
Watch the video and then get a kick — and a cuddle — of your own with the recipe below.
