Freezer Door Old Fashioned with Bourbon

Freezer Door Old Fashioned with Bourbon

This freezer door old fashioned is my favorite make-ahead cocktail for a party! It's made with bourbon (or rye!), simple syrup, Angostura bitters, and orange bitters for a super smooth, classic drink. Make a batch for easy pouring and even easier drinking.
