The Recipe for Holiday Cheer

Here’s how our expert mixologists craft the Fireside Old Fashioned:

• Large Ice Cube: Keeps your cocktail perfectly chilled without diluting the bold flavors.
• 2 oz Bourbon: Rich and smooth, it forms the foundation of this luxurious drink.
• 3 Dashes Chocolate Bitters: Adds a layer of decadence, complementing the bourbon with a subtle cocoa finish.
• Cinnamon Cayenne Syrup: A sweet and spicy twist that brings the heat and holiday warmth.
• Garnish with a Toasted Marshmallow and Orange Peel: The finishing touch—a toasty treat that nods to winter campfires, paired with a bright citrus aroma to balance the flavors.
