Manly Man Mike’s Satsuma Old Fashioned | Cajun 911 Cuisine

cajun & creole classics cocktails fruit
Satsuma Old Fashioned cocktail with bourbon and satsuma peel garnish.

This Cajun 911 signature Old Fashioned uses homemade satsuma syrup to bring a bright Louisiana citrus twist to a classic bourbon cocktail. Strong, clean, and unapologetically masculine, this drink balances warm oak, silky sweetness, and subtle spice. Built smooth and refined, it’s an Old Fashioned made for sipping slow and with intention.

INGREDIENTS 

 

FOR THE COCKTAIL

2 oz bourbon

1/2 oz Cajun 911 satsuma syrup

2–3 dashes Angostura bitters

1 dash orange bitters, optional

1 large ice cube

 

GARNISH

Satsuma peel twist

Optional charred satsuma slice

Optional cherry

 

 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Build the Cocktail

Add bourbon, satsuma syrup, Angostura bitters, and optional orange bitters to a mixing glass. Fill with ice and stir for 20–30 seconds until well chilled and silky.

2. Strain

Strain the cocktail over a large ice cube into a rocks glass.

3. Garnish

Express the satsuma peel over the glass to release the oils. Rub the peel around the rim, then drop it into the drink or twist over the top. Add a charred satsuma slice or cherry if desired.

 
SERVING IDEAS 

  • Serve as a signature cocktail for gatherings

  • Pair with grilled meats or rich appetizers

  • Enjoy as an after-dinner sipper

  • Add to holiday or celebration cocktail menus

 

NOTES

  • Homemade satsuma syrup provides a smoother citrus sweetness than orange

  • Stirring, not shaking, keeps the drink clean and refined

  • A large ice cube slows dilution and preserves balance
