A Sweet New Twist on an Old Classic
The Old Fashioned is one of those timeless cocktails—simple, sophisticated, and always in style. But if you’re looking to give this classic a fresh new flavor profile, look no further than the Honey Bourbon Old Fashioned featuring Barenjager Honey Bourbon.
This smooth and subtly sweet bourbon liqueur brings a whole new dimension to the drink. The honey infusion softens the edges of traditional bourbon, making the cocktail feel warmer and more approachable—while still holding on to the boldness that makes an Old Fashioned what it is.

Muddled cocktail cherries, a few dashes of bitters, and a splash of club soda add the familiar depth and complexity, but it’s the Barenjager that makes it shine. With notes of rich honey and warm spice, it’s the perfect balance of sweet and spirit.
Serve this up in your favorite rocks glass with a twist of orange peel and an extra cherry for garnish. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet evening in or entertaining friends, this cocktail delivers comfort and class with every sip. It’s the Old Fashioned—with a new twist and just a little more charming.
