This spiced Old Fashioned is the perfect cold weather cocktail. It’s a simple drink that features a couple of elevated ingredients that are well worth the extra time spent making them.
Recipe
Lavender's clean, floral aroma is the perfect way to add a touch of spring or summer to your cocktail. Although it's usually paired with gin, it can also work surprisingly well with just about every other type of liquor!
The Floradora is a classic gin cocktail made with raspberry syrup, lime juice, and ginger ale. It's fruity, refreshing, and a very pretty pink, too! I’m not sure why the Floradora isn’t a better known gin cocktail because it’s delicious, easy on the eyes, and made with readily available ingredients.
The Batanga is a lesser-known tequila cocktail that has a lot in common with the Cuba Libre (aka Rum & Coke). This spring-inspired riff on the Batanga adds a pop of cherry flavor with the addition of the luscious Luxardo Maraschino cherry syrup.
This bright and citrusy gin cocktail is the perfect way to add a little liquid sunshine to these frigid February days! With citrus season in full swing, deep winter is a great time to enjoy the sweet and sour flavors of mandarin oranges.
If you enjoy a spirit-forward Old Fashioned, and you also enjoy the classic flavors of Valentine's Day, give this Chocolate Cherry Cognac Old Fashioned a go! Unlike the average Valentine's cocktail, this silky smooth, elegant sip is full of flavor without being overly sweet.
