Old Man Winter

Old Man Winter

A holiday play on an Old Fashioned that's all Frost, no Jack. Apple cider reduction offers spiced sweetness that makes a perfect alternative to simple syrup for colder days, and black walnut bitters add a special bit of wintery holiday flair to this classic cocktail.
