1 oz Old Forester 100° Bourbon (Evan Williams Bonded)
1/2 oz @cruzanrum Black Strap Rum

Stir with ice, strain into a double old fashioned glass with an ice sphere (big cube), and garnish with an orange twist.
Two Saturdays ago, I returned to the online recipe flashcard set for the Patterson House in Nashville and became intrigued by the 3-spirit Old Fashioned riff called the Presidential Suite. I was able to get an approximate date to its creation when I spotted it on a 2014 menu photo on Yelp. Once prepared, the Presidential Suite opened up with an orange and molasses aroma. Next, caramel and honey notes on the sip transformed into American whiskey, dark rum, and orange flavors on the swallow.
