The Freezer Door Old Fashioned is a great approach to prepping cocktails for gatherings or for those days when you just need a shortcut. Far from a lazy technique, batching this cocktail allows for fine tuning that doesn’t translate to making a single drink. Splitting the spirit base in a myriad of ways becomes possible. Since the drink is pre-diluted, the water content makes for an interesting variable that allows another layer of flavour to be added. Chilled tea makes a great substitute because it packs a lot of flavour without any sugar. Use this recipe as a blank canvas to pair any Bittercube Bitters with your favourite spirits and flavourful syrups.

Method:

1. Combine ingredients in a bottle, seal and place in the freezer at least 24 hours before serving.
2. Measure 3 ½ oz per serving, then garnish with a citrus peel, expressed and inserted.

*To smoke a glass and impart a robust cedar aroma, ignite a Bittercube cocktail cedar, then invert a glass over the flame to fill with the smoke. Place an inverted glass and a cedar on a plate or flame-resistant surface until the cocktail is ready to strain into the glass.
