Somerset Old Fashioned

Old fashions date back to 1892 and are still popular today. They are combination of spirit, sugars and bitters.

In an old-fashioned glass, stir together a teaspoon of maple syrup with a few good dashes of Angostura bitters. Add ice, and then 60–80ml Somerset Cider brandy. Garnish with a wedge of orange or a wedge of green apple. If the latter, make sure you souse it briefly in lemon juice to stop it discolouring.
