About
This cocktail was created by Matthew Belanger (@matthewsbelanger) at Death & Co (@deathandcompany) in 2017. It’s a riff on the Fancy Free, taking the classic Old Fashioned template in a slightly more tropical direction. The base is split between rye whiskey and aged Demerara rum, while maraschino and passionfruit liqueurs bring subtle fruit and sweetness. Tiki bitters layer in warm spice notes. I originally posted this one as part of a collaboration with Fabbri 1905 Amarena Cherries.Cheers y’all!
