New Fashioned

A bright riff on the Old Fashioned that pairs bourbon and sweet vermouth with muddled basil and strawberry, finished with a splash of soda. It tastes gently sweet and herbaceous with ripe berry notes and classic boozy warmth; visually it's a ruby-tinted, herb-speckled rocks cocktail that's both refreshing and approachable.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Bourbon
  • 1 oz Sweet Vermouth
  • 1 dash Aromatic Bitters
  • 1 splash Soda Water
  • 4 Basil
  • 2 Strawberries
  • 1 Raw Sugar

Instructions

  1. In a pint glass, muddle the fresh basil leaves, one strawberry, raw sugar, and a dash of bitters until well combined and fragrant.
  2. Fill the glass with ice cubes to provide a cooling base for the drink.
  3. Pour in the bourbon whiskey and sweet vermouth over the muddled mixture.
  4. Gently swirl the mixture in the glass to properly blend the ingredients and chill the drink further.
  5. Transfer the entire contents of the pint glass into an old-fashioned glass without straining.
  6. Top off with a splash of soda water for a refreshing finish.
  7. Garnish with the remaining strawberry to add flair and serve immediately for best taste.
