We love a good offbeat holiday drink, and this Old Fashioned riff from Sam Gauthier at New York’s Boilermaker fits the bill perfectly.
Gauther brings in some smoke by bringing in scotch in place of the typical bourbon, and adds a tiki touch with pineapple syrup. A dash of bitters (Gauthier recommends Dale Degroff’s aromatic bitter) and a kiss of absinthe round out the ingredient list, coming together in a delicious glass of Christmas magic.
Stir with ice and strain into an ice-filled short glass, preferably over a large ice sphere or a huge pile of shaved ice.
The Cocktail Party app puts this drink – and hundreds more – in your pocket, and tells you what you can make from the ingredients you have at home. It’s the best $3.99 you’ll ever spend on a drink.
