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.
Old Fashioned
Ingredients
1 sugar cube
2 to 3 dashes Angostura bitters
2 ounces Whiskey
Optional: orange slice
Optional: a splash of club soda
Garnish: orange peel
Optional Garnish: maraschino cherry
Steps
Place the sugar cube at the bottom of an old-fashioned glass.
Saturate the cube with bitters, add an orange slice if you like, and muddle.
Fill the glass with ice.
Add the whiskey and stir well. Finish it off with a splash of club soda if you prefer.
Garnish with an orange peel and cherry.
Serve and enjoy!
Sparkling Honey Rye
Ingredients
2 ounces rye whiskey
2 tablespoons honey
juice of one lemon
sparkling wine
Steps

Pour the whiskey, honey, and lemon juice over the ice.
Shake vigorously.
Strain the rye into a glass filled with ice.
Top the glass with sparkling wine.
Serve and enjoy!
