NAUGHTY OR SPICE
For when you want an Old Fashioned but it's cold outside
The Old Fashioned is the granddaddy of cocktails for a reason. It's simple, delicious, and drinkable year round. I love my Old Fashioned as much in the winter as the summer but the winter offers opportunities to incorporate a few new flavors. The homemade winter spice syrup incorporates flavors of molasses, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice for a wonderfully seasonal take on a classic favorite. Perfcect for fireside sipping.
