The Old Fashioned Rouge is strong and bittersweet packed with licorice and spice. Wormword, fennel, and gentian root infuse flavors of absinthe and bitters. A traditional coloring technique using Cochineal—a red beetle from Peru—gives this Old Fashioned its "rouge" naturally. Aged in Willett Family Reserve Rye Whiskey barrels.
Add 1 part No.4 plus 4 parts rye, stir with ice, strain into a rocks glass, and garnish with a lemon twist.
