Call us Old Fashioned…

…but we like things with a bit of a twist!

Gifting can be quite tricky, especially whilst the country has been in lockdown. That’s why we’ve partnered up with our friends at Woodford Reserve to concoct a cocktail recipe that’s the perfect gift for Father’s Day, birthdays and anything else in-between.

Our Media City Head Bartender, Rachel Orange, has created this bottled cocktail so that it not only looks Instagrammable but both travels well and most importantly, is delicious. Her Honey & Black Pepper Old Fashioned uses Woodford Reserve for it’s base due to the rich colourful flavour of the whiskey, perfectly complimented with fiery black pepper and the sweetness of the honey.

Head to our IGTV (Instagram: @thealchemistuk) for the video ‘how to’ of the cocktail and our Instagram highlights for the honey and black pepper syrup recipe. You can also make both by following the steps below…
