Purdy Meyers Introduces a Newfangled Way to Craft the Perfect Old Fashioned
The Old Fashioned – a cocktail steeped in history and tradition, revered for its simplicity, depth of flavor, and timeless appeal. At Purdy Meyers, we understand the importance of honoring the classic recipe while also embracing innovation and creativity.
That's why we're excited to introduce a newfangled way to craft the perfect Old Fashioned, blending traditional techniques with modern twists to elevate this iconic libation to new heights. Join us as we explore our innovative approach and discover the secrets to creating an Old Fashioned like never before.
The Purdy Meyers Method
Our method for crafting the timeless Old Fashioned begins with the perfect glass like this Godinger Old Fashioned Glass, blended with top-shelf ingredients and thoughtful preparation. Here's how we do it:
Premium Spirits
Start with a high-quality bourbon or rye whiskey as the foundation of your Old Fashioned. Choose a spirit with rich, complex flavors that will shine through in the final cocktail.
Artisanal Syrups
Instead of traditional simple syrup, we recommend using artisanal syrups infused with unique flavors such as vanilla, cinnamon, or orange. These syrups add depth and complexity to the cocktail, elevating its flavor profile and creating a more nuanced drinking experience.
Handcrafted Bitters
Bitters are an essential component of the Old Fashioned, adding depth, complexity, and balance to the cocktail. Experiment with different varieties of bitters, such as aromatic, citrus, or herbal, to find the perfect combination for your taste preferences.
Innovative Garnishes
While the classic Old Fashioned is typically garnished with a twist of orange or a cherry, our newfangled approach encourages experimentation with innovative garnishes such as smoked cinnamon sticks, dehydrated citrus slices, or edible flowers. These unique garnishes add visual appeal and aromatic complexity to the cocktail, making it a feast for the senses.
Modern Techniques
Finally, embrace modern techniques such as fat washing, sous vide infusion, or barrel aging to impart additional layers of flavor and complexity to your Old Fashioned. These innovative methods allow you to customize the cocktail to your liking, creating a truly unique and memorable drinking experience.
With our new twist on crafting the perfect Old Fashioned, Purdy Meyers invites you to reimagine this classic cocktail and explore the endless possibilities for creativity and innovation.
Whether you're a seasoned mixologist or an adventurous home bartender, our cocktail curators offer a fresh perspective on the Old Fashioned, blending tradition with innovation to create a cocktail that is both timeless and cutting-edge.
Here’s to the art of mixology and the endless pursuit of pouring perfection! No matter where you wander. Cheers!
