The turn of the season is upon us, and whether you’re snuggling up against the fall chill or braving the winter cold & snow, we’ve got just the cocktail for it.
It’s a savory and delicious riff on an classic Old Fashioned. We’re using our Aquavit – Private Reserve, and these rich bitters add another layer of complexity.
Nordic Old Fashioned
2 oz Aquavit – Private Reserve
¼ oz Simple Syrup
5-6 drops of Chocolate/Mocha bitters (you can also use 2-3 dashes of Angostura Bitters, Jerry Thomas Bitters or another Barrel Aged Bitters, if you have ’em)
Swath of orange peel
Muddle peel, bitters, and syrup in an old fashioned glass. Add aquavit and ice, stir well and serve.
