Warm, nutty, and perfectly smooth, the Pecan Old Fashioned is a cozy twist on a timeless favorite. The secret is the homemade pecan simple syrup. Rich, toasty, and just sweet enough to balance the bite of Overholt Rye Whiskey. A few dashes of orange and Angostura bitters bring depth and brightness, while the orange peel and cocktail cherry garnishes bring a classic touch. This cocktail feels like an evening by the fire: comforting, refined, and just a little indulgent. It’s the perfect sip for crisp nights lounging at Cody's Restaurant, Bar & Patio.
