Ledges Cherry Old Fashioned
Updated: Sep 27
About the Cocktail
The Cherry Old Fashioned was the second star of our September 2026 Ledges Mixology “Barrel & Glass” class — bold, layered, and beautifully complex. Built with rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, cherry liqueur, and a duo of bitters, it delivered a cherry‑forward richness balanced by a subtle peppery bite from the Thai Spice Bitters.
His Take (Jeff):
My second favorite of the night. I love a heavy cherry note, and this one delivered. The Thai Spice Bitters added just the right amount of heat at the finish.
Her Take (Nancy Fae):
I expected complexity, but I didn’t expect to love the Thai Spice Bitters. The drink was layered, balanced, and delicious — especially with a touch more Macadamia Nut Liqueur.
The Good Life: A cocktail that proves the Good Life is all about balance — sweet, spicy, bold, and shared with people who make the evening even better.
