Recipe Notes

For the Root Vegetable Simple Syrup – Combine 1 cup Sweet Potato and 1 cup Honey
Glazed Carrots in a blender. Add in 1.5 cups of boiled water with 0.75 cup Brown Sugar.
Blend. Strain, using the back of the spoon to extract as much of the Root vegetables.
Can keep in the fridge for up to 1 week. Makes 8 of the Old Fashioned recipes.

To make the infused Bourbon, roughly chop the ½ cup Roasted Honey Glazed Carrots
and Sweet Potato place into a 500 ml Mason Jar. Add 1 cup of Bourbon and let it sit in
the mason jar at room temperature for an hour. Cover and place into the freezer
overnight or a minimum 5 hrs. Use a coffee filter to strain the fat-washed bourbon and
enjoy. For the cocktail, simply substitute the Root Veg Simple Syrup recipe with a Brown
Sugar Simple Syrup instead (1 part brown sugar, 1 part boiled water and stir to
combine). The rest of the recipe stays the same.
