About
This split base old fashioned is an original of mine. I wanted to make something tropical, but a sipper. I sweeten it up just a touch with a coconut oolong demerara syrup, which brings in a hint of tropical richness. The lime and tiki bitters add a little kick of citrus and spice.Cheers y’all!
