Here’s how to drag the Old Fashioned into 2021
Yes, we said it, the Old Fashioned Week may be old fashioned. Okay, yes, it’s a classic, but perhaps it needs a bit of a shake up; not a massive one, just enough not to break a sweat.
In our view, the classic Old Fashioned perhaps has too many steps. There’s a lot of measuring, crushing, and pouring. It can really be trimmed down – giving you The Lazy Old Fashioned!
We know the Monkey bottle is awesome.
But its also crazy useful as a mixing jug. Just follow the below recipe and you will have12 cocktails perfected in less than 30 seconds, ready to be enjoyed at any time.
