Wife has been nearly bedridden for around a month now. She’s starting to get better, but she still doesn’t have much energy. With me doing “single-dad mode” to keep the household running, I needed a way to unwind once the kids go to bed. We bought that giant pack of holiday Canada Dry cans from Sams Club, so here’s a fun twist on the classic Old Fashioned that’s smooth and satisfying.
Yields: 1 drink Prep time: 2 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Honey Whiskey (like Jack Daniel’s Honey)
- 2 tbsp Simple Syrup
- 6 dashes Bitters
- Cranberry (or Blueberry) Ginger Ale, to top
- Ice
Equipment:
- Highball glass
Instructions:
- Fill your highball glass generously with ice.
- Add the simple syrup, bitters, and honey whiskey to the glass.
- Top with Ginger Ale until the glass is full.
- Stir gently for a few seconds to combine the ingredients.
- Garnish with a candied ginger slice and an orange twist if desired.
Sip and enjoy your perfectly crafted Cranberry Ginger Old Fashioned! Cheers!
