I’ve really stepped outside of my box this year when it comes to cocktails. However, I can’t do a traditional Old Fashioned on my wildest day. I have remixed this classic a few times this year, so it only felt right that I share a Christmas Old Fashioned with you all!
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Whiskey
- 3 Dashes Angostura Bitters
- 1 oz Cranberry Simple Syrup –Recipe below
- 2 C Fresh cranberries
- 1 1/2 C Water
- 1 C Granulated sugar
- Extra cranberries for garnish
Directions:
Cranberry Simple Syrup
- Combine over med-low heat: water, sugar, and cranberries until sugar dissolves and berries are soft – about 10 mins
- Let cool for 10 mins
- Strain through a mesh strainer into a mason jar to store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks
Christmas Old Fashioned
- Add the first four ingredients in a shaker with ice
- Serve over ice mold and garnish with fresh cranberries
I hope you enjoy this festive Christmas Old Fashioned! It absolutely looks and tastes like Christmas! It’s sweet enough that everyone can sip but strong enough to make you slow down and enjoy it!
I can’t believe we are more than halfway done with my #12DaysofChristmas Cocktails and Treats! I hope you and your family have found a few favorites!
