1
Add simple syrup and bitters to an old fashioned glass and twirl until bitters and syrup are completely mixed.
2
Fill glass with ice 3/4 of the way up and fill bourbon to just below that level (comes out to 2-2.5 ounces.)
3
Stir (do not shake!) Taste and then taste again 5 min later and the melt from the ice will create a dangerously drinkable bourbon cocktail.
4
Cut blood orange into very thin vertical slices (like medallions or rounds, not wedges) and set aside.
5
Mix sugar and water in a small sauce pan and heat over medium to medium to low heat until sugar is dissolved. Once dissolved add blood orange slices and cook 15-20 min until orange slices look limp.
6
Immediately jar and cool. Best to make ahead and have batch ready for cocktail hour. (Note: any 2:1 sugar syrup will work for the old fashioned. 1:1 doesn't pack enough punch while 2:1 takes off the bite of the bourbon with out making the cocktail too sweet.)
