This is a simple cocktail with Vodka, Orange Curacao and Green Chartreuse. Ideally, I would garnish by squeezing an orange peel over the drink and then floating it in the drink. But, I could not find any orange in our refrigerator.
The nose is full of the Chartreuse aroma and the palate is decidedly citrusy from the orange.
maybe I should have written it as all you lovers of the cocktail named Old Fashioned…. đŸ™‚
If are ever in downtown San Fran, do go to the bar inside The Clancy Autograph collection hotel and ask for Fortunato. And then ask him to make you his signature Old Fashioned.
His variations include using maple syrup instead of simple syrup and orange bitters instead of usual bitters. Finally, he smokes it by burning hickory chips.
DELICIOUS!!
Ran with Samaresh and Andrew Percher this morning. Andrew kept pacing us harder. I was able to keep up for 2.5 miles (and even then he was taking it easy on me) – after that, I had to slow down. 4 miles run with the first mile and last mile coming at 10 min/mile. The second mile was at 9:30 min/mile and the third one at 9:20 min/mile.
