Smoky Cinnamon Brown Sugar Old Fashioned

Looking for the ultimate fall cocktail? This Smoky Cinnamon Brown Sugar Old Fashioned is a cozy, seasonal twist on the classic bourbon drink. With warm brown sugar, spiced cinnamon, and a dramatic smoky finish, it’s the kind of cocktail that feels right at home on a crisp autumn evening.

Why You’ll Love It
Old Fashioneds are timeless, but this version leans into fall flavors. Collins Brown Sugar Syrup brings a rich, caramel-like sweetness, while bitters keep the balance. Smoked pecan wood chips add depth and drama, turning each sip into a full sensory experience. The cinnamon stick and dehydrated blood orange garnish make it as beautiful as it is delicious—ideal for holiday hosting or a quiet night in.

INGREDIENTS


DIRECTIONS

  1. Combine the cocktail: In a mixing glass, combine the bourbon, Collins Brown Sugar Syrup, and bitters. Add ice and stir with a bar spoon for 10–15 seconds, or until well-chilled.
  2. Pour and garnish: Add a large ice cube, and strain the cocktail into the glass. Garnish with Collins Dehydrated Blood Orange Slices and cinnamon stick.
  3. Smoke the cocktail: Put the cocktail into the dome smoker. Place a small pinch of wood chips into the smoker. Use the torch to ignite the chips until they begin to smolder and smoke. Let the dome sit with smoke for at least 30 seconds.
  4. Finish the drink: Release the smoke & enjoy! The Viski dome smoker is perfect for smoking multiple cocktails at once. Double the recipes and make one for a friend!
