Instructions

Combine bourbon, maple syrup, bitters, and fresh orange juice in a blender.
Add the ice and blend until the mixture reaches a smooth, slushie consistency.
Pour the slushie into a chilled Old Fashioned glass.

Pro Tip

Since you're adding more ice than you would use in a normal cocktail, use a higher proof bourbon, such as a bottled-in-bond release, so you don't lose that whiskey kick.

Frozen Old Fashioned Riff

For a tropical twist, swap out the bourbon for dark rum, and replace the orange juice with pineapple juice. The result is a Tiki-inspired frozen rum drink that’s just as satisfying, but with a sunny, beachy vibe.
