Fireside Old-Fashioned
This drink is a holiday-themed adaptation of Shannon Tebay’s Arrowhead, a cozy Old-Fashioned riff that’s built on a sturdy base of whiskey and pine-scented Douglas Fir eau-de-vie and accented with pear liqueur and maple syrup. It’s the liquid embodiment of walking through a coniferous forest on a snowy evening, and the kind of Old-Fashioned you can batch for a holiday party or make one at a time when the house finally goes quiet.
