Pu-erh Old Fashioned Recipe

Pu-erh Old Fashioned
Autumn Giles

This drink offers all of the well-loved elements of an Old Fashioned plus the depth and earthiness of a Pu-erh tea infused bourbon.

There's no need to choose your best bourbon here, but it needs to be one that you can enjoy neat. I love Four Roses Yellow Label for this sort of drink.

Ingredients

For the Pu-erh Infused Bourbon:

  • 1 cup (8 ounces) bourbon

  • 2 tablespoons loose leaf Pu-erh tea

For the Pu-erh Old Fashioned:

  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar

  • 3 dashes Angostura bitters

  • A few drops water

  • 2 ounces Pu-erh infused Bourbon

  • Garnish: Lemon twist (optional)

Directions

  1. For the Pu-erh Infused Bourbon: Combine tea and bourbon in a jar and cover the jar. Let steep at room temperature for 2 hours. Strain tea leaves and discard. Store infused bourbon in a sealed jar.

  2. For the Pu-erh Old Fashioned: Put sugar in an old fashioned glass then add bitters. Add just enough water to saturate sugar and muddle mixture until sugar is dissolved. If you don't have a muddler, use the end of a wooden spoon handle. Add bourbon and top with ice. Stir 10 seconds to chill and combine; garnish with lemon twist if desired.
