Some drinks are meant for noise and laughter — this one’s for quiet. Fireside Ember Bourbon captures that hushed, glowing moment when the fire has burned low and conversation fades to warmth. Every sip draws out deep bourbon notes balanced by cinnamon spice and the soft sweetness of maple.
Born from the same spirit as the Fireside Glow Bourbon and Fireside Apple Bourbon Chill, this cocktail completes the trio — smoky, soothing, and unmistakably bourbon-forward.
Ingredients
- 2 oz bourbon
- 0.25 oz cinnamon simple syrup
- 0.25 oz orange liqueur
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- 1 orange peel
- 1 cinnamon stick (for garnish)
- 1 large ice cube
Instructions
- Combine bourbon, syrup, orange liqueur, and bitters in a mixing glass.
- Add ice and stir for 20–30 seconds until chilled.
- Strain into a rocks glass with a large cube.
- Express the orange peel over the drink and run it around the rim.
- Garnish with the orange peel and a lightly torched cinnamon stick.
This is a slow drink — one that rewards patience. Let the ice melt just enough to mellow the spice and let the maple bloom. Whether you’re pairing it with a roaring fire or a quiet evening on the porch, the Fireside Ember Bourbon brings a little warmth to every chill in the air.
