Lavender Old Fashioned | Cocktail Party

Lavender Old Fashioned

When we use lavender syrup, we tend to pair it with clear spirits like gin or vodka, and plenty of bright citrus juice. But lavender is equally wonderful with brown spirits, like in the Lavender Old Fashioned from NYC restaurant Miss Ada.

Miss Ada’s recipe calls for Angostura bitters, a classic ingredient in an Old Fashioned. We’ve also had it with lavender bitters, and prefer it that way – they don’t run the risk of overpowering the delicate flavor of lavender the way aromatic bitters can.

Great drinks-great app

Great cocktail app. Very good list of drinks that actually are well made and tasty. I have used other apps that just were overloaded with tons of junk drinks. It feels like the creators of this app actually enjoyed making the drinks and decided which were good enough to add to the list. Really appreciate the perpetual updates drinks listing too. Hate paying for things more than once.
