Al-pino Old-Fashioned 2.0

This is an update of a drink from earlier in my cocktail studies. It requires a ton of different ingredients, but it’s worth it. Big pine flavors go into this Cocktail that features a split base of rye and Irish whiskey.

INGREDIENTS

1 oz. rye whiskey
1 oz. Irish whiskey, preferably Slane
1 oz. pine mix*
1 teaspoon honey syrup (1:1)

---

ABV LEVEL

Stir with plenty of ice in a mixing glass for 20 seconds. Strain over a big cube. Express and discard a lemon twist.
