Stocking Stuffers for the Patriarch

Posted by Anne Alajar

STOCKING STUFFERS FOR THE PATRIARCH

WHO IS HE?
This week’s gift highlights will be gifts for the Patriarch: this could be your father or grandfather, your boss, the friend that goes out of his way to make sure everyone is well taken care of, or the kind-hearted, older gentleman that treats you like family. Get them something nice with a gift that especially caters to them!   
 
DRINK OF CHOICE
His drink of choice? Well, it would be an Old Fashion, of course! 
The Old Fashion is one of the first widely known drinks, making it a classic drink to serve for any occasion. Its namesake comes from people ordering a drink made “the old-fashioned way”. 
 
 
To make this classic cocktail you would need the following:
  • Simple syrup: which you could buy in store, or make at home using water and sugar 
  • About a teaspoon of water to help bring out the bourbon’s flavor
  • Bitters or botanicals
  • Ice 
  • His favourite Bourbon 
  • An orange slice and a maraschino cherry to garnish.
To assemble an Old Fashion, begin by stirring in your simple syrup, water, and bitters in a glass. Serve over ice before adding your preferred amount of bourbon, then garnish with an orange slice and maraschino cherry. Serve and enjoy!
Why not pour yourself & your patriarch a glass and dive into some great conversation while you enjoy your drinks together!
