The Old-Fashioned might just be the only cocktail that can be both classic and modern, innovative and straightforward, subtle and daring.

This was a delightful read.

    My two favorite variations to make are a s’mores old fashioned with graham cracker infused whiskey and chocolate bitters. Like the article, garnish with a roasted marshmallow. If I am willing to deal with cleaning the glasses, rimming them with melted chocolate and crushed graham crackers can really be fun.

    The next is a Reese’s old fashioned. Again using chocolate bitters but this time with peanut butter whiskey like screwball. Personally, I find screwball tastes sweet enough that it doesn’t need much, if anything, to sweeten it more. You can also rim this glass with melted chocolate.

      You know, I’ve never thought of making an old fashioned like that. I may just need to try one this fall.

      Thanks for the insight!
