There is a reason why the Old Fashioned Whisky Cocktail has remained a favourite on the drinks scene for almost 200 years. It is the cocktail equivalent of comfort food.

Your holiday guests will love this version of the traditional drink. Replacing the sugar or simple syrup with Kinsip’s Whisky Barrel Aged Maple Syrup adds depth to the flavour and gives it a Canadian spin.

Just as good ingredients are key to this drink, so are the garnishes. In this version we swap the traditional orange peel for a Sullivan Luxury Candied Orange slice and two maraschino cherries. Perfect flavours for sipping by the fire, or while wrapping presents.
