Quarantine 2020. Less going out and more cocktailing from my couch. I think us extroverts have all been struggling a little bit, but if nothing else I’ve had fun trying to cocktails at home during this time.
We are a big bourbon house hold over here, and when DeKuyper reached out and asked if we wanted to try their new Classic Ol’Fashion Liqueur, I obvi said YES!
I was a bartender in fine dining for about 9 years so I couldn’t count the thousands of Old Fashioneds I’ve probably made in my time behind the bar, thus I was ready to take on the challenge. But guess what? DeKuyper Classic Ol’ Fashion liqueur takes the measuring and guesswork out of the equation. Perfect for the at-home bartender looking to simplify things for a beautiful classic cocktail, and an easy night-in.
They’ve made it easy for you by eliminating the need to muddle anything: simply follow the recipe on the label:
- 1 part DeKuyper Classic Ol’ Fashion liqueur
- 2 parts Bourbon of your choice (I used Jim Beam Black)
I garnished mine with a slice of blood orange and a Luxardo cherry. (These are my fave cherries for cocktails!)
For those of you who have never had a traditional Old Fashioned, I feel compelled to share with you the basic recipe so you can compare to the recipe above and see how easy Dekuyper has made it for you!
Traditionally, an Old Fashioned is an orange slice, a cherry, a few shakes of bitters and either a sugar cube or dash of simple syrup, all muddled together. You would then pour your bourbon over this mixture, and add an ice cube. (Often topped with a spritz of soda water).
By using DeKuyper Classic Ol’ Fashion liqueur, you have more time to sit back and relax! Cheers friends, I hope you’re enjoying summer, your extra time at home with a cocktail in your hand.
