There are few things as quintessentially Texas as smoky barbecue, and this cocktail from Houston bartender Caryian Haines, with smoked brown sugar, will definitely make you crave a rib or two.

In this episode of Old Forester's Cocktail Chronicles, watch how Haines makes her Smokey Fashioned. Then get your lighter ready to make your own.

Smokey Fashioned
Yields 1 drink

1 ounce Old Forester 1870 Bourbon Whisky
1 tablespoon smoked brown sugar
1 dash angostura bitters
1 dash orange bitters
.5 ounce St. Germain
1 orange slice

Add brown sugar and bitters to your glass, then add ice.

Pour bourbon over ice, add St. Germain, and stir.

Light an orange peel and twirl around the rim, then use as garnish.
