Description

Taking a classic old fashioned and turning it into the perfect BBQ treat. Using Agar Agar gelatin powder, black cherries, simple syrup, bitters, and bourbon we take this cocktail recipe to the next level. Similar to Jell-O shots but with a nicer texture, you end up with the ultimate whiskey snack great for a party, poker game, or just sitting by the smoker while barbequing. At 75 proof alcohol, these things pack a punch!

To calculate the amount of alcohol use the following formula and example. Measurements need to be in ounces.

(Alcohol Content x Liquor Volume / Total Drink Volume) x 100 = % Alcohol by Volume

In this recipe we have 12oz (1-1/2 cups) of 50% ABV (100 proof) bourbon and 4oz (1/2 cup) of the combined soda water & simple syrup. With our total drink volume being 16oz.

(.50 x 12 / 16) x 100 = 37.5

37.5 ABV = 75 proof
