Holiday Old Fashioned Garnish Twists

As the holiday season approaches, it's the perfect time to infuse your Old Fashioned with festive flavors and unique twists that celebrate the season. Our Bartender’s Secret Sauce Old Fashioned Cocktail Syrup is the ideal base for these creative updates.

Start by adding a touch of holiday flair with garnishes like cinnamon sticks and cloves. A cinnamon stick not only looks festive but also imparts a subtle spice that complements the rich, deep flavors of your Old Fashioned. For an aromatic twist, drop a few whole cloves into your drink; they add a delightful, warming scent that’s perfect for cozy gatherings.

Peppermint candy canes are another playful addition. Muddle a small piece into your cocktail or use it as a garnish to introduce a refreshing, minty note that contrasts beautifully with the traditional base.

For a unique spin, mix up your spirit choice. Substitute the traditional Bourbon or Rye whiskey with Reposado or Anejo Tequila to create a "Jalisco Old Fashioned," or use Mezcal for an "Oaxaca Old Fashioned" with a smoky edge.

If you’re craving something a bit heartier, try adding a slice of pumpkin or a touch of pumpkin spice. This twist offers a seasonal nod to autumn flavors, blending smoothly with the classic notes of your Old Fashioned.

Embrace the holidays with these creative garnishes and spirit twists, and elevate your Old Fashioned to new festive heights!
