Date-infused Old Fashioned - a new twist on a classic cocktail
Yesterday I wrote about Jim Beam’s new black cherry-infused bourbon, and commented that after the recent growth in the flavored vodka market, flavored bourbon may be the next big thing. Well, today we’re back with another flavor infusion for bourbon, leading to a new twist on a classic cocktail recipe.
This New York Times recipe shows you how to infuse bourbon with dates (you’ll need to allow 2 to 4 weeks for the infusion, so don’t plan on serving this drink at a party this weekend). You can then mix the date-infused bourbon into one of the classics, the Old Fashioned. To make the cocktail even better, the Times serves up for a recipe for brandied cherries to add as well.
Our Old Fashioned glasses are classics as well… if you order them now, you’ll have them by the time the bourbon infusion is complete.
