  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 1 freeze-dried buzz button
  • Ice
  • Orange peel & maraschino cherry for garnish

  2. Fill the glass with ice (about halfway), then stir 10 times

  5. Add bourbon and stir 10 to 12 times
  6. Garnish with the maraschino cherry

Drinking Instructions:

It’s recommended to first take a small sip of your delicious not yet Old Fashioned before eating the buzz button. Now that you have tasted
the “before”, it’s time to prepare for the “after”.

Chew on the buzz button (you can eat the whole thing with or without the stem) for 10-20 seconds, or until the sensation becomes too much. You can then swallow the flower. At this point you should be noticing a very unique tingling sensation as well as increased saliva in your mouth.

Now it’s time to take a sip of your cocktail to get the get the full “Buzzed” Old Fashioned experience.

Enjoy!
