Recipe by Pate Giltner

Ingredients

  • Date Pecan Syrup
  • 1 cup pitted Natural Delights Medjool dates
  • ½ cup pecans
  • 2 cups water
  • Cocktail
  • ¾ cup bourbon
  • All of the date-pecan syrup (about ¼ cup)
  • 5 Natural Delights Medjool dates
  • 12–15 dashes black walnut bitters
  • 4 cups ice
  • ¼ - 1 cup water (as needed for blending if the mixture is too thick)

Preparation

Date Pecan Syrup

Simmer the ingredients for 1 - 1 1/2 hours, then strain through a fine mesh sieve using a spoon to push the remaining liquid out of the mixture. Simmer for 20-25 minutes more or until the liquid has thickened.

Cocktail

Blend all ingredients until smooth, then pour into rocks glasses. If the mixture is too thick to pour, add a little water until you reach the desired consistency.

*While Medjool dates are high in natural sugars, they are low on the glycemic index thanks to a balanced amount of soluble fiber. The complex carbohydrates found in Medjool dates are digested at a slower rate, making them a source of dietary fiber and releasing energy to the body over a longer period of time.
