I like "Dark and Stormy" and "Old Fashioned" drinks, including cinnamon, maple, and vanilla flavors. I currently have an orange that I want to use. What is a good drink to try?

Since you enjoy both Dark 'n' Stormy and Old Fashioned drinks and have a penchant for cinnamon, maple, and vanilla flavors, I have a couple of excellent suggestions that incorporate these elements. Considering you also have an orange that you want to use, the **Maple Old Fashioned** or the **Old Southerner** might be delightful choices that align with your preferences.

The **Maple Old Fashioned** is a delightful twist on the classic Old Fashioned, featuring a rich sweetness from maple syrup that pairs wonderfully with bourbon's warming notes. The incorporation of orange peel as a garnish not only adds a bright citrus aroma but also a hint of zest that complements the maple and bourbon beautifully. The hints of vanilla from the bourbon and the complexity from the Angostura Bitters would satisfy your flavor profile preferences while providing a cozy, autumnal cocktail experience.

Another intriguing option is the **Old Southerner**. This cocktail is a modern take on the Old Fashioned and involves ingredients like orange bitters and a dash of lemon-lime soda in addition to your bourbon. The sugar syrup and lemon-lime soda provide a sweet and refreshing contrast, while the orange bitters add a layer of flavor complexity that could tie in well with the fresh orange you have on hand. Although it doesn't directly include maple or vanilla, the citrus elements and the depth of the bitters bring a somewhat similar comforting complexity to your drink.

Both cocktails would beautifully complement your taste for rich, complex flavors with a touch of citrus from your orange.
