In a world where fried chicken waffles, booze-laced doughnuts and unicorn frappes are commonplace, we think it’s high time we celebrate the finer things in life and regain some of the dignity we lost the last time we shouted “YOLO” from the rooftops.
And the easiest way to do that is to tidy up our booze habits (so that means no more frozen daiquiris, mkay?). Enter the old fashioned—the perfectly classy, easy-to-make cocktail that screams “I’ve got my life together”—just what we all need!
We’ve buddied up with Bacardi to bring you three of the classiest old fashion twists which are easy AF to make (soz, couldn’t help ourselves). Cheers to that!
Bacardi Carta Fuego Spiced Rum & Belgrove Coffee Rye Old Fashioned
INGREDIENTS
METHOD
Stir all ingredients together in a rocks glass over large cut ice.
SERVING SUGGESTION
The spiced rum and coffee rye old fashioned is best enjoyed while wearing a three-piece tuxedo and listening to the dulcet sounds of Frank Sinatra.
Don't own a three-piece tuxedo? Your jammies will do.
Dewars 12 Year Old Scotch Whisky & Old Fashioned

METHOD
Stir all ingredients together in a rocks glass over large cut ice.
SERVING SUGGESTION
Channel your inner Heston and have a gastronomy-gasm in your kitchen (sea urchin foam isn't that difficult to create, we're sure) while sipping on this bad boy for inspiration.

Bacardi 8 Rum & Jim Beam Rye Old Fashioned

You won't even realise you're eating with your hands!
To get hold of one of these cracking cocktails, head down to the Dewars Scotch Egg Club throughout August at The Woods of Windsor and Loch & Key!
