Old Fashioned and “New” Fashioned Rum Cocktail Recipes
A lot of people are surprised to learn that you can make an Old Fashioned with rum. We actually serve two versions: one with a couple of extra twists, which customers have come to know and love in the Tasting Room, and one that’s a little more classic. We’ve started calling them the Old Fashioned (the classic) and the New Fashioned (what you may have fallen in love with if you’re a regular visitor to the Tasting Room). For an added twist you can also try making the Fashioneds with Montanya Exclusiva or Valentia. Here are the recipes:
