Strawberry Ghost Pepper Old Fashioned
On May 13, 1806, the definition of the word ‘cocktail’ was written as “a potent concoction of spirits, bitters, water and sugar”. As cocktails became more complex in the late 1850s, people who wanted a simple cocktail with only those four ingredients would request an ‘old fashioned’ — no bourbon required. This old fashioned mixer has a unique punch of flavor, but it actually goes best with clear spirits. If you’re not big on bourbon, this is the old fashioned for you!
