CITRUS OLD FASHIONED

Sweet

Short & Strong

If you love a traditional Old Fashioned, it’s time to give the Citrus Old Fashioned a try! This Old Fashioned variation adds Lillet Blanc to the usual other ingredients, adding distinct candied orange peel and botanical notes to the drink. To enhance the citrus notes even further, we’ve replaced the traditional Angostura bitters with orange bitters, providing a deeper, more complex flavour than the overpowering freshness that fresh orange juice would bring.
