A simple yet elegant twist on the classic Old Fashioned recipe written for the wedding of Matt and Erika Hyde at Hudini’s Estate in Los Angeles.
Honey takes the place of the typical brown sugar used in the classic Old Fashioned. Not only does this bring a unique flavour profile to the recipe, it’s also one you can adapt to your taste and location as honeys are hugely varied. Your choice here will have a significant impact on the final drink.
Marry this with a hint of chocolate and aromatics from fresh citrus, and you have your new favourite Old Fashioned recipe.
