Ledges Pecan Pie Old Fashioned
About the Cocktail
The Pecan Pie Old Fashioned was the final pour of our September 2026 Ledges Mixology “Barrel & Glass” class — warm, indulgent, and deeply layered. With bourbon, house‑made Pecan Pie Amaro, crème de cacao, Fernet Branca, and two bitters, it offered a dessert‑inspired twist on the classic Old Fashioned.
His Take (Jeff):
My third favorite. It was good, but I didn’t get much pecan flavor. Interesting ingredients, but not something I’d order at a bar — still a solid drink.
Her Take (Nancy Fae):
I found it beautifully layered and didn’t feel the need to sweeten it. I didn’t look for pecan notes; I just enjoyed the blend. Fernet Branca intrigued me, but I’m undecided on adding it to our shopping list.
The Good Life:
A reminder that the Good Life isn’t always about finding your favorite — sometimes it’s about exploring something new and savoring the experience.
