Bourbon and orange cocktails to try

The tastiest bourbon and orange combinations on this page are the Old Southerner, Fancy Free, and Winter Whisky Sour, depending on whether you want a spirit-forward sipper or something brighter and more citrus-led.

If you are specifically using orange bitters, start with the Old Southerner. It is built on bourbon with a dash of orange bitters plus aromatic bitters and a touch of sweetness, then gently lengthened with lemon-lime soda. That keeps the drink refreshing while still clearly bourbon-forward.

For a richer, stirred drink with orange bitters, the Fancy Free is the closest to an Old Fashioned style serve, adding maraschino cherry liqueur alongside both orange and aromatic bitters. It is a good choice if you like a deeper, more aromatic profile.

If your “bourbon and orange” idea is more about juice than bitters, the Winter Whisky Sour (orange juice and lemon juice) is the best-rated citrus option here and is shaken for a fresher, lighter feel.

Quick picks:

Old Southerner: bourbon plus orange bitters, easygoing and refreshing
Fancy Free: bourbon plus orange bitters, darker and more spirit-forward
Winter Whisky Sour: bourbon with orange juice, bright and highly rated
