Warm Up Your Holidays with the Fireside Old Fashioned at BAD ELF Pop-Up Bar

There’s something magical about the combination of bourbon, bitters, and just the right touch of holiday spice. The BAD ELF Pop-Up Bar is embracing that magic with a cocktail that’s as cozy as it is bold: the Fireside Old Fashioned.

Perfect for sipping by a crackling fireplace—or enjoying with friends in our festive pop-up setting—this drink is a playful twist on a classic favorite, with flavors that will warm your heart and ignite your holiday spirit.

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.

Why You’ll Love It

The Fireside Old Fashioned isn’t just a drink; it’s an experience. The cinnamon cayenne syrup delivers a perfect balance of sweet and spicy, while the chocolate bitters add depth to every sip. The bourbon’s rich notes tie it all together, making this a must-try for anyone who loves a cocktail with personality.

And let’s not forget the garnish! Toasting the marshmallow at the bar adds a fun, interactive element to the experience, and the orange peel provides a touch of elegance. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the season in style.

The Fireside Old Fashioned is exclusively available at the BAD ELF Pop-Up Bar, where the atmosphere is as playful and festive as the cocktails. Whether you’re catching up with friends, enjoying a date night, or just looking for a new holiday tradition, this cocktail is the ultimate winter warmer.
