A Pine Old Fashioned is the perfect holiday cocktail idea!

With a bold pine syrup and your favorite bourbon, this easy cocktail comes together quickly and is just the drink to serve at all your holiday parties.

I love a good Old Fashioned recipe but I came across a product that makes it even more wintery and wonderful. It’s a pine flavored cocktail syrup to make the perfect Christmas cocktail!

The ingredients are simple. My husband got this yummy bourbon for his birthday and I grabbed my favorite spiced bitters.

Pine syrup (similar to the one I used) isn’t super easy to find so you’ll need to plan ahead and buy it ahead of time.

I’m sure you can make your own pine syrup with needles from your tree but who knows what kinds of chemicals they put on those.

Ingredients

Bourbon
Pine syrup
Bitters

Add your bourbon, add your pine syrup. Drop in your bitters. Stir it up, little darling.Strain in to a short glass, (low ball? no one said I was an expert…) with new ice. Twist a peel of orange over the glass and drop her in. And then drink up. The pine syrup is much more subtle than I thought it would be. It’s a simple syrup so it sweetens up the drink while imparting a hint of herbaceous flavor. It’s perfect for a winter’s evening by the hearth. And by that I mean wrapped up in a blanket on the couch watching a holiday movie. Here’s another delish sounding cocktail using pine syrup. I’m going to try that one next. But this is an Old Fashioned Recipe you’re going to want to make every year!
