Tangerine, Honey and Rosemary Old Fashioned

Tangerine, Honey and Rosemary Old Fashioned. Try saying that five times fast.

Classic cocktails can always use a twist. Although, they are delicious on their own, it’s always nice to open your guest’s pallet with a unique flavor that will leave your specialty cocktail memorable.

The Tangerine, Honey and Rosemary Old Fashioned branches out from the classic use of orange by substituting tangerine.  Sugar, being the next classic element, lets honey step-in to provide the sweet component of the drink. And finally, rosemary ties everything together to contribute to the comforting mood of an old fashioned with its herbal pleasures.

Garnishes come as a natural positive element with this cocktail because tangerines & rosemary are colorful and fun.  From cocktail hour to the comfort of your home, this cocktail is your new go-to.
