Why Use Gin in an Old Fashioned?

Whiskey brings warmth and weight — but gin can bring brightness and complexity. Especially with The Old G:

• Juniper and cardamom replace the oak
• Orange peel and spice tie in perfectly
• You get a balanced, slow-sipping cocktail — without the heaviness

It’s familiar but completely fresh.

Classic Gin Old Fashioned Recipe

This one keeps the bones of the original — but uses The Old G to build something crisp and modern.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz The Old G
• 1 barspoon simple syrup (or ½ sugar cube)
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• Orange peel

Instructions:

1. Stir gin, syrup, and bitters with ice
2. Strain into a rocks glass over one large cube
3. Express orange peel over top, then garnish

It’s clean, citrus-forward, and smooth with no burn.

Botanical Gin Old Fashioned Variation

Use herbal bitters or floral syrups to make the most of The Old G’s botanicals.

Try:

• Lavender bitters
• Rosemary syrup
• Grapefruit peel garnish

This twist brings out the softer, spiced notes of the gin.

Citrus-Spice Old Fashioned with The Old G

Double down on citrus and warmth by adding:

• Orange bitters
• Cardamom bitters
• Honey syrup instead of sugar

It’s bright, bold, and made for sipping after dark.

Why It Works

• Gin is complex enough to stand on its own — like whiskey
• The Old G’s smooth finish makes it perfect for short builds
• Orange, bitters, and botanicals tie together seamlessly

This isn’t a compromise — it’s a remix with full flavor.

Final Pour

The Old Fashioned isn’t just for bourbon lovers anymore. With The Old G, you get a fresh take that’s layered, citrusy, and crafted with clarity. Try it once — you might not go back.
