Food: His and Hers Whiskey Drinks

Hi guys! As the holidays are approaching, this means lots of gatherings, socializing, and enjoying your favourite food and drinks! When it comes to a favourite drink, everyone knows I’m either a wine or rosé girl and I stick pretty closely to these. Justin absolutely loves his Old Fashioned and indulged in this whiskey base drink our entire Hawaii trip. When we got home I challenged him to make me a whiskey drink that I liked! Sort of like an Allie version of an Old Fashioned, so, sweet and fizzy! We purchased our whiskey at Experience by ANBL in Moncton so if you’re looking for the exact kind, check there! Here are the two recipes we used to create his and hers whiskey cocktails.

• 1 sugar cube

• 2 to 3 dashes ​Angostura bitters

Steps

1. Place the sugar cube at the bottom of an old-fashioned glass.
