An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving

My darling goblin bride requested an Old Fashioned riff using cranberry and this delight was the result. I didn’t get a pic of the first one, but it was so good she wanted another and so I made both of us one.

2 oz Four Roses Small Batch bourbon
¼ oz Eda Rhyne’s Rustic Nocino
A bit under ¼ oz simple
2 barspoons cranberry sauce
2 dashes Fee Brothers’ black walnut bitters
3 drops Fee Brothers’ orange bitters

Combine all but the orange bitters, give a stir to integrate and let it sit for a couple minutes so things can mingle, just long enough to grab and prep your glass. Stir it like you mean it and then double strain over a large ice cube. Top with a splash of soda water and finish with the orange bitters across the

The Sauce

It’s a rather different Thanksgiving here, but it’s been a good one all the same. I am thankful for a lot of things: my darling goblin bride, my loving family, my amazing friends.

2 oz applejack
¼ oz velvet falernum
¼ oz dry Curacao
2 barspoons cranberry sauce
1 generous barspoon allspice dram
3 dashes of orange bitters

Combine all in a shaker with a bit of ice, shake vigorously, double strain and serve up.

It’s lovely y’all, really lovely. I hope all of you are having a good day, staying safe, and have something you are thankful
