It seems like there's a day for everything now, but we were delighted to learn that the original and possibly best cocktail gets an entire week!
Old Fashioned Week runs from November 5-14, which gives us a great excuse to break out the bitters and mix up a glass of this timeless serve that oozes character and confidence.
A Bushmills Black Fashioned is an interesting twist on this classic, yet simple cocktail recipe that might surprise you!
The kick of Irish whiskey with the Angostura bitters and hint of orange in the cocktail draws out the rich flavours in the whiskey with every sip, making it the perfect tipple every time.
Using just 4 simple ingredients you can enjoy a Black Fashioned at home - check out the video for a quick tutorial:
