This is the old fashioned for anyone with a sweet tooth. Rye whiskey gets a dessert-inspired makeover with a graham cracker rim that makes every sip feel like a campfire treat. It’s a quick and easy stirred drink, built right in the glass over a large ice cube, so it’s a great fit for cozy nights in, fall gatherings or a laid-back nightcap. Add a toasted marshmallow on top if you want to lean all the way into s’mores territory.
Tasting Notes: Warm brown butter and cookie dough sweetness meet the spicy, peppery bite of rye. Aromatic bitters add depth, and the graham cracker rim brings a toasty, honeyed crunch with every sip.
