Our Cola Old Fashioned is a rich and sophisticated variation of the classic Old Fashioned. Check out our Cocktail College video on the Old Fashioned and learn about the very first cocktail and how it has been “improved” over the ages. You can certainly check out all the “improvements” we have made to the classic. Here we use the sweetened Cola Syrup in place of the granulated sugar you’d use in your traditional Old Fashioned. It adds a pleasant musty, nutty depth and complexity to this drink. Check out how to make your own Cola Syrup and look at all of the cocktails you can make with it. Cheers!
