Ledbury Harvest Old Fashioned
by Lindsey Buckley on Oct 16 2026
A tea-inspired autumn Old Fashioned where bourbon, maple and bitters sit beautifully alongside pumpkin and salted caramel.
Ingredients
* 2 tsp Ledbury Pumpkin Harvest
* 2 oz freshly boiled water
* 2 oz bourbon
* ¼ oz pure maple syrup
* 2 dashes aromatic bitters
* Large ice cube
* Orange peel
* Cinnamon stick, optional
Method
Steep the tea in just 2 oz of boiling water for 5–6 minutes to create a strong tea concentrate. Strain and allow to cool completely.
Add 1 oz of the concentrated tea to a mixing glass with the bourbon, maple syrup and bitters.
Fill with ice and stir for 20–30 seconds until thoroughly chilled and slightly diluted.
Strain over a large ice cube in a rocks glass. Express an orange peel over the drink and drop it into the glass. Add a cinnamon stick if desired.
Serve: Slowly, preferably on a crisp autumn evening
