About
This cocktail was created in 2013 by the brilliant Scott Teague (@scottjamesteague) for Death & Co. His inspiration was the fact that there weren’t many Old Fashioned style cocktails made with orgeat (almond syrup). This one follows the Old Fashioned template of a spirit, sugar, and bitters. But as Teague mentions, this one “is very pretty but a little bit crazy, just like Marilyn.”Cheers y’all!
