The Perfect Ready-to-Drink Old Fashioned: A Classic Cocktail Reimagined

There’s something timeless about an Old Fashioned cocktail. Its rich history, dating back to the early 19th century, has made it a staple in the world of spirits. Today, Soldier City Spirits’ Truitt’s brings this classic cocktail to your home, allowing you to enjoy its sophisticated flavors with ease. Here’s how to make the most of this delightful drink.

The Ideal Serve

To truly appreciate the depth and complexity of Truitt’s ready-to-drink Old Fashioned, it’s best enjoyed poured over ice. The ice not only chills the drink but also slightly dilutes it, mellowing the strong flavors and making each sip more refreshing.

For an authentic touch, garnish your cup with a dehydrated orange slice and a dark cherry. The dehydrated orange adds a subtle citrus aroma and a hint of sweetness, while the dark cherry provides a rich, fruity contrast that complements the drink’s robust profile. These garnishes are more than just decorative; they enhance the overall sensory experience, making each sip a journey through layers of flavor.

Elevate the Experience with a Smoker

For those looking to take their Truitt’s experience to the next level, using a smoker can add a whole new dimension to the drink. Smoking the cocktail infuses it with a rich, dark flavor that pays homage to its origins. The smoky notes blend seamlessly with the bourbon, bitters, and sugar, creating a complex and satisfying drink that lingers on the palate. The result is a cocktail that not only tastes incredible but also offers a captivating visual experience as the smoke swirls around the glass.

Perfect for Gatherings

One of the best things about Truitt’s ready-to-drink Old Fashioned is its versatility. It’s the perfect addition to your afternoon backyard gatherings, offering a touch of elegance without the need for extensive preparation. Whether you’re hosting a casual get-together or a more formal event, this cocktail is sure to impress your guests.

Truitt’s rich flavors and sophisticated presentation make it an excellent choice for sharing with friends and family. It's classic appeal and modern convenience mean you can spend less time mixing drinks and more time enjoying the company of your loved ones.
