1pt Barrel Old Fashioned
Infused notes of wood and leather with subtle hints of island spice form the perfect complement to this mocktail-friendly version of a cocktail classic, bringing all the character of fine-ageing to your glass in a fraction of the time. Whether you prefer rye or bourbon, keep it simple while adding just a little bit of unexpected aromatic luxury to your next at-home OF.
STEP 1 - Easy All-Natural Infusion
Infuse Your Spirit:
Combine a 1pt Barrel Old Fashioned Infusion Blend Packet with 375ml of Whiskey in any lidded container. Let it infuse for 2-3 hours, then strain, and reserve the infused spirit for your cocktails. (No need to refrigerate - infused spirits can be stored indefinitely at room temperature)
1pt Barrel Old Fashioned Infusion Blend Ingredients:
Dark Wuyi, Wood Dragon, Puerh, Dandelion Root, Clove, Vanilla Rooibos - no sugar, gluten, dairy, nuts, additives, or preservatives
Mocktail* Version:
Substitute water or a zero-proof spirit for the alcohol in this infusion and follow the same steps. (Non-alcoholic infusions should be refrigerated and used within 30 days)
STEP 2 - Mix Your Drink
Ingredient | Cocktail (1) | Batch (6+) |
---|---|---|
1pt Barrel Old Fashioned-infused Whiskey* | 2.0 oz | 375ml |
Simple Syrup | 0.5 oz | 3 oz |
Water | 0.5 oz | 3 oz |
Angostura Bitters | 2 dashes | 12 dashes |
Mixing Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled. Strain into a suitable glass over a large ice cube. For batching, combine all ingredients in a pitcher with ice and serve as normal.
Garnish:
Garnish with a large orange twist or, if you want to get funky, a single clove-studded cherry for a hint of spice.
STEP 3 - Enjoy!
For an Added Twist:
Try a dash of maple syrup for added warmth, or swap in a bourbon (instead of rye) for a softer, sweeter profile.
