POMEGRANATE OLD FASHIONED

Dec.posted by Paula 5 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Pour a little holiday cheer this year with my Pomegranate Old Fashioned. This is a seasonal twist on a classic cocktail. It’s easy to make, tart, and a delicious sipping drink for the holidays.

An Old Fashioned is one of the six classic cocktails that every good bartender knows how to make expertly. According to “Cocktail Codex“, master these core cocktails and you’ll be able to create innumerable variations.

The six classic cocktails are the Old Fashioned, Martini, Daiquiri, Sidecar, Whiskey Old Fashioned, and Flip. In each drink, every ingredient falls into at least one category. First, core is the primary flavor. Then, balance enhances the core with sweetness, acidity, or both. Finally, seasoning adds another dimension and complements or contrasts with the core. (source)

POMEGRANATE OLD FASHIONED

To make a classic Old Fashioned cocktail, you’ll muddle sugar with bitters and water then add whiskey. Next, garnish it simply with an orange slice and a cocktail cherry. Serve it traditionally in an old-fashioned glass. As well, this recipe has been recorded as far back as the 1800s.

Obviously, for my Pomegranate Old Fashioned, I added pomegranate juice. It really is so good!

Pomegranate is tart so mixing it with a little sugar and bourbon makes a delicious combination! As well, I recommend getting pure pomegranate juice, not a juice cocktail that’s mostly not pomegranate.
