In small saucepan mix together water, sugar, and candied pecans. Bring to a boil and cook until sugar is dissolved. Take off heat and strain out pecans. Cool.
For The Cocktail
Add bourbon, vodka, and simple syrup in a glass. Add ice and stir.
Notes
Refrigerate your leftover pecan simple syrup and use it for other cocktails and drinks.
Make your own candied pecans by cooking 1 cup of pecans in 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 2 Tbsp. water for about 5 minutes.
Perfect Pairing
Serve this bourbon cocktail with something salty like these homemade cool ranch doritos.
