Old Fashioned – Tree House Brewery
I must admit, I had absolutely no expectations for this Tree House Brewery Old Fashioned. Allow me to elaborate. I came across this Old Fashioned when I ordered their Coquito. Unfortunately, I wasn’t a fan of their Coquito. However, I want to be transparent and mention that I am a Puerto Rican who makes my…
The Glenlivet Twist and Mix Old Fashioned
Last week I reviewed The Glenlivet Twist and Mix New Manhattan. This week, let’s talk about their Old-Fashioned ready-made cocktail. Like the New Manhattan, twisting the cap releases a mixture that goes into the cocktail. The Old Fashioned is also a 375ml bottle at 40% ABV and retails for $21. This cocktail is not bad…
Tip Top Proper Cocktails
The warmer it gets outside the less whisky I drink. Fear not, it’s still chilly in Massachusetts but we recently saw these little ready-made cocktails and I couldn’t help but get them. I purchased the Manhattan and the Old Fashioned at $4.99 each. I only purchased one can of each, but you can purchase an…
Bols Cocktails Very Old Fashioned
I saw this little guy as we were checking out and it magically ended up in my cart because I’m always on a mission to find a perfectly delicious ready-made cocktail. Also, how could I pass this up their claim that it’s the world’s oldest cocktail brand, that’s what sold it for me. This cocktail…
Wandering Barman Boomerang Old Fashioned
I’m always on the lookout for easy pre-made cocktails. I found this little guy on a recent visit to Whole Foods. Wandering Barman is a brand out of Brooklyn, New York, started by previous bartenders, waiters, and restaurant managers with years of experience. Boomerang is an Old Fashioned with bourbon whiskey, Tree juice maple syrup,…
Old Forester Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Bought a mini of this bourbon as I wasn’t sure I was going to like it and I’m very glad I did. Not because it’s a bad bourbon but, because I have plenty of other bourbons in my collection that simply rival this one if not are better. Nose: vanilla and tobaccoPalate: spices, rye, bitter…
Redwood Empire Pipe Dream Bourbon Whiskey
After falling in love with Redwood Empire, Emerald Giant Rye I simply had to try more from this Sonoma County, CA, Distillery. This bottle is named after the Redwood Empire Pipe Dream tree which is the 14th tallest tree on the planet. It is also amongst the fastest growing and rises 367 feet from the…
Putnam Barrel Aged Old Fashioned
I’ve always loved an easy ready to drink cocktail. It takes the bartending work away and all you need to do is pour over ice and enjoy. This ready to drink cocktail is produced by Boston Harbor Distillery. It’s made with their Putnam Rye Whiskey, Angostura Bitters and Demerara. It’s 35% ABV and a 375ml…
WhistlePig Ginger Fashioned
I spy with my little eye another WhistlePig Cocktail To-Go. This time, a Ginger Fashioned. I’ve tried their Orange Fashioned and absolutely loved it. It’s a cocktail I would certainly bring to someone’s house so they could enjoy it, but is this one just as good? This Ginger Fashioned I’d made using their 6-year PiggyBack…
WhistlePig Orange Fashioned
Spring finally sprang here in Boston with an amazingly warm weekend and here I am trying to grow whiskey bottles in my flower box. One can only dream! I’ve never seen this WhistlePig ready-made Orange Fashioned, which is a new take on an Old Fashioned, until a week ago. This is a pre-batched, barrel-aged cocktail…
Elijah Craig Old Fashioned Cocktail Syrup
Now here’s a non-alcoholic Elijah Craig product I came across by chance. This little bottle which cost me just around $4, is simply a syrup to make an Old Fashion with. Unlike ready-made cocktails, you need to have a whiskey to use this one with. The bottle indicates it was specifically to highlight the notes…
