Feeling curious?
There’s more to loving gin than G’n’Ts and Martinis. This take on an Old Fashioned will reward those with courage and curiosity. Whisky lovers are guaranteed a new thrill, and gin connoisseurs …well for you a world of sophistication awaits. Steps:
- In a mixing vessel, muddle 1 teaspoon each of sugar and water into a syrup (tip – try different sugars, e.g, white, palm, brown, dark – they really change this baby, but for me it’s the palm sugar!)
- Add 60ml of barrel aged Australian craft gin from The Gin Boutique (Never waste your time on this bad boy with non-barrel aged gin), and stir gently.
- Pour over cracked ice into an old fashioned glass already laced with a heavy dash of Angostura bitters, and a garnish of peel of a blood orange (though a regular orange will suffice).
- Stir. Bask in your (my) brilliance. Say “thank you”. Boom! Your welcome.
Now… where’d that microphone roll?
Enjoy!!
