Save the s'mores for the kids, and let the adults get a little toasted with a sweet, smoky and boozy treat.
Building our Campfire Old Fashioned cocktail allows you to recreate the experience of roasting marshmallows over an open fire from behind your bar. This cocktail blends bourbon, homemade marshmallow syrup and Angostura Cocoa bitters for a touch of chocolatey sweetness, and then infused with smoky campfire flavor using a cocktail smoking box that will leave you begging for s’more. The pièce de résistance is a marshmallow garnish, lightly charred or burnt to a crisp with a lighter or torch. We’ll toast to that.
