Celebrate Old Fashioned Week with Monkey Shoulder

Here’s how to drag the Old Fashioned into 2021

Yes, we said it, the Old Fashioned Week may be old fashioned. Okay, yes, it’s a classic, but perhaps it needs a bit of a shake up; not a massive one, just enough not to break a sweat.

In our view, the classic Old Fashioned perhaps has too many steps. There’s a lot of measuring, crushing, and pouring. It can really be trimmed down – giving you The Lazy Old Fashioned!

We know the Monkey bottle is awesome.

But its also crazy useful as a mixing jug. Just follow the below recipe and you will have12 cocktails perfected in less than 30 seconds, ready to be enjoyed at any time.
