Old Fashioned Valentine

An Old Fashioned is the father of all cocktails. It’s a simple mix of spirit, sugar, water and bitters. But nobody is holding a gun to your head to force you in using brown aged spirits. For this Valentine I’m mixing an Old Fashioned with a sweet gin : Siderit Hibiscus Gin. 

Personally, I don’t really like sweet gin, but in a recipe that uses sugar anyway… you just cut back a bit on the sugar and it’s a drink unlike any other Old Fashioned. Enjoy it with your loved ones.

Old Fashioned Valentine

It’s very easy to stir this one in the glass. Just add all ingredients to a tumbler with ice cubes and give it a good stir. Garnish with a small dehydrated Hibiscus flower.
