The Green Man's Old Fashioned
A woodland inspired variation of a true classic- the old fashioned. Fresh pine notes compliment the smokiness of the whisky.A note to our Revolutionaries: feel free to swap out the pine syrup for cherry blossom syrup, for an almond-infused old fashioned the Green Man would be proud of.
