Tips for Mixing Old Fashioned Cocktails:

I used Cran-Apple Juice for these cocktails. Cranberry Juice Cocktail or Cranberry Pomegranate Juice are also great options for this recipe. 

I am a big fan of Wild Turkey American Honey Bourbon Whiskey. It’s a smooth blend of bourbon and honey. Drink it straight or mixed into cocktails. 

What are Angostura Bitters?

Angostura Bitters are great to have on hand for mixing cocktails. It only takes a few dashes for each drink and it really balances the flavors. 

I found Angostura Bitters at Walmart, near the drink mixers. It’s made from high-proof spirits infused  with herbs, fruits, roots, and other spices. 

If you aren’t into whiskey, you might try my Cranberry Tequila Old Fashioned cocktail. It’s equally delicious but with tequila!
