FESTIVE COCKTAILS: Old fashioned gets a yuletide twist...

Tuesday 22 December 2020


In this new series, Express has challenged local mixologists with creating a new cocktail packing a punch of festive flavour.

The first comes courtesy of Samphire's Fabieene Schmalnauer.

Here, the master cocktail-maker takes a classic - an Old Fashioned - and gives it a spicy, yet comforting twist.

It's the type of treat to knock up and swirl in hand while leafing through that new book, cosy by the fire in your new Christmas socks, as the final embers of the big day fade.

Enjoy...

What you’ll need...

Ginger syrup

Crushed ice

Bulleit bourbon

Sugar syrup

Angostura bitters

Sugared ginger

Orange zest to garnish

How to make it...

1. Spray an Old-Fashioned glass with ginger syrup spray.
