An old fashioned made with plenty of orange to celebrate the Broncos' color, and a Sazerac in tribute to Peyton Manning's southern roots.

PFM Old Fashioned

  • 1 slice fresh orange
  • 2 dashes orange bitters
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • Splash of fresh orange juice

Combine the ingredients. Serve on the rocks

Hurry! Hurry! Sazerac

  • 1.3 oz George Dickel Rye Whisky
  • 1 sugar cube or 3/4 oz simple syrup
  • Several dashes of Peychoud's bitters
  • Absinthe or another anise-flavored spirit
  • Lemon twist

Add ice to an old-fashioned glass.  Let chill while making drink.

In a mixing glass or shaker, muddle the sugar or simple syrup with the bitters. Add ice and Rye Whisky and stir.

Discard ice from old- fashioned glass and add a small amount of Absinthe. Swirl in glass and discard excess.

Strain whiskey mixture into glass. Zest the lemon twist into glass and leave on the side of the glass as a garnish.
