Maple Old Fashion with Candied Bacon

Nice drink by a warm fire,

2 ounces Bourbon

1 tsp pure Maple Syrup

Dash of Angostura Bitters

Garnish with Orange Peel and 1 stripe of candied bacon ( I like to add cayenne pepper to the candied bacon)

Mix bourbon, maple syrup, bitters, and a teaspoon of water in an Old Fashion Glass and stir until the maple syrup is dissolved. Add a single large ice cube then garnish with orange peel.
