’Tis the [fig] season here in the Lowcountry so why not make the best of it in an Old Fashioned?

Next up on the #FestiveOldFashioned series with @oldforester is the talented, Meagan Cheek (@meaganvision) with a fig inspired Old Fashioned that is as local as it it is seasonal. Check out his details below.

“Figs, allspice, brown sugar, maple syrup, and of course bourbon... what flavors could be more fitting for the holiday season? I wanted to feature figs because they often get a bad rap (pun intended). For this representation of the OG Old Fashioned I have chosen Old Forester 1920 for its warming winter flavors of cherry, vanilla, and graham cracker sweetness. The spirit is then infused at a low heat with dried figs rolled in a bit of brown sugar. Finish with a touch of allspice dram, maple syrup, and cherry bark vanilla bitters. Garnish with a fresh halved fig nestled in a big beautiful peel of winter grapefruit. If you don’t know, now you know!”

Rosemary Old Fashioned
Rosemary Old Fashioned

Get all the holiday vibes with this festive take on the Old Fashioned. Cheers y’all!

Rosemary, with its fragrant and pine-like aroma, has long been cherished as a symbol of remembrance and love during the holiday season. Its vibrant green needles evoke the festive colors of the holidays, while its robust flavor adds a touch of warmth to holiday dishes and cocktails. Whether infused in rich gravies, delicately dusted over roasted meats, or incorporated into hearty stuffings, rosemary brings a sense of tradition and comfort to any holiday table. Cocktails are no exception.

Wisconsin Old Fashioned
Wisconsin Old Fashioned

It’s time to finally try the Wisconsin Old Fashioned 🥃

I don’t think I know of any other classic cocktail thats so heavily disputed by an entire region. I’ve been drinking old fashioned’s for a while now and always have preferred them… the old fashioned way (ps. This is how the drink got its name - spirit, bitters, sugar + water). Wisconsinites will always slide into the comments section asking where the muddled orange and cherries are, so today we’re going to try it out.

Have you revisited this lately, what are your thoughts?

Thanks to @highproofpreacher for the new HPP challenge coin 🥃

Salted Chocolate Oaxacan Old Fashioned
Salted Chocolate Oaxacan Old Fashioned

Ever paired salted dark chocolate with an ańejo? 🤯

We’re here in Palm Desert and together with my friends at tresgeneracionestequila, I’ve created a take on a modern classic in the Oaxacan Old Fashioned by adding elements of dark chocolate
and sea salt. #TresGeneraciones Añejo stands well on its own but since we’re making an Old Fashioned here, I figured chocolate would pair well with the rich toasted oak notes in the ańejo as well. Adding just that pinch of salt also accentuates the flavors of chocolate + citrus and brings out more of the roasted agave with each sip. If you’re looking for an Old Fashioned recipe for the summer, this might just be your new go-to.

Cheers y’all.

Burnt Sugar Old Fashioned
Burnt Sugar Old Fashioned

As the old saying goes: When life gives you “burnt” syrup, make an Old Fashioned?

What happens when you leave your rich demerara syrup on the stove for too long? Yup. You’re left with a sticky mess to clean up for about an hour. But the byproduct is this amazingly rich, dark, bittersweet syrup that has notes of toffee and dark roast coffee. I know I didn’t invent this and burnt sugar syrup is used widely in other cuisines. My mom and grandma would even make something similar to coat their decadent flan but WHY did it take me this long to make it myself and use it in a cocktail? It’s so dang good. Up next: a Daiquiri.

Ahumado Old Fashioned
Ahumado Old Fashioned

Give me an Old Fashioned, but make it with a smoky tequila 🥃

I’m excited to introduce y’all to the newest offering from - Patrón Ahumado - and make a classic Old Fashioned with it. #patronahumado is made in small batches using a low and slow roasting technique of the piñas underground with mesquite for at least seven days. Agave is then crushed using the unique 100% tahona wheel distillation process. The reposado tastes sweet, smoky, and oaky with notes of black pepper and hints of vanilla and caramel — it takes a classic Old Fashioned to a new level but can also just be enjoyed neat or on the rocks. If you’re a fan of smoked spirits, you need to get your hands on this bottle ASAP.

Cheers y’all.

Peach Old Fashioned
Peach Old Fashioned

Peaches 🍑+ Brandy 🥃, name a better combo…

Want to know what makes this one in particular so special?

St-Rémy Signature is the only French brandy that features a double aging process first in charred new oak casks, then in traditional, seasoned brandy oak casks to bring layers of smooth and oaky flavor to the forefront. The two-cask maturation imparts intense spiced notes and verve as well as balance and complexity, which makes for a versatile yet easy-to-drink flavor profile.

You’re going to want to make this one.

Whistle Pig Maple Old Fashioned
Whistle Pig Maple Old Fashioned

Ok, real talk - @whistlepigwhiskey sent over a care package that included their barrel-aged maple syrup and figured why not take their suggestion to make it into an Old Fashioned.
.
In case you didn’t know, the Whistle Pig Farm is in Burlington, VT and they actually have maple trees onsite that they tap and harvest maple syrup from. This syrup is then aged in spent Whistle Pig Rye Barrels producing a super unique, single source maple syrup!

Panela old Fashioned
Panela old Fashioned

The holidays always remind of the fall/winter flavors and spices that go into everything we eat and imbibe during the season. I recently #partnered up with 1792 bourbon to create a custom cocktail that will tie in all these flavors into a simple cocktail… Can you keep a secret? It has to do with the spiced panela syrup. Infused with flavors that remind me of fall and winter, it ties in well with 1792 Bourbon due to the bourbon’s high-rye content and spice-rich notes, alongside vanilla and caramel. Check out the recipe below and let me know what cocktail reminds you of the holidays! #1792 and #1792Bourbon

Cinnamon Apple Old Fashioned
Cinnamon Apple Old Fashioned

This is recipe is fall in a glass for this year’s #OldFashionedWeek 🥃

We, I created a variation on an Old Fashioned that will be an instant hit this season. It combines the familiar pairing of apples and cinnamon and combines them with the rich and complex notes of the 94 proof #ElijahCraig Small Batch bourbon, providing for one of the easiest sipping cocktails you’ll make this this season.

If you’re unfamiliar with Old Fashioned Week, it’s an annual celebration of this classic Bourbon cocktail, featuring events in bars and online. As an added bonus, the funds raised for this campaign will be donated to a great cause: the Southern Smoke Foundation
