About the ‘Fireside Embers’ Old Fashioned cocktail
This isn’t just a cocktail; it’s a winter hug in a glass. The ‘Fireside Embers’ is a slow-sipping, winter-warm riff on the classic Old Fashioned, offering delicate, dessert-like qualities perfect for chilly evenings.
Soft, creamy sweetness from white chocolate plays beautifully against the warming spices in the rum and bitters. The result is a quiet, comforting cocktail with just enough depth to keep you coming back to savour another slow sip.
The heart of this recipe is a spirit you won’t find anywhere else: Holocene Fireside Fig Liqueur.
Winter just got a little cozier thanks to our friends at Holocene Distilling, who crafted this unique liqueur exclusively for Liquor Plus. It features Island-grown Fig and Bartlett Pear, gently blended with warm seasonal spices like cinnamon, clove, and vanilla. It is the crucial component that gives this cocktail its distinct, festive character.
Note: Quantities of this exclusive liqueur are limited—make sure to grab a bottle while you can!
