Fall Cocktails: The Hudson Standard Old Fashioned

While we do love bourbon, something about a traditional Old Fashioned has always seemed a bit overpowering. The addition of the Hudson Standard Apple Coriander Maple Shrub seems to add just enough flavor to balance out the strength of the bourbon and bitters, and make this fresh take on a classic cocktail far more palatable.  

Hudson Standard shrubs & bitters are made in the Hudson Valley region of New York state, where the leaves are showing their most vibrant fall colors.  We can't think of a better way to celebrate this time of year than with a cocktail infused with the flavors of the season.

Hudson Standard Old Fashioned

  1. Muddle orange and bitters in an empty glass to release the essential oils.
  2. Fill glass with ice.
  3. Add Bourbon and shrub.  Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
  4. Stir and Enjoy! (DO NOT SHAKE - this will bruise the liquor causing it to get cloudy and bitter)

Recipe: The Hudson Standard Shrub Adult Soda

We're kicking off apple season in The Hudson Valley and what better way to celebrate than with a light, refreshing apple shrub soda.  The Hudson Standard shrubs are hand crafted in the Hudson Valley in very small batches and limited quantities.  One taste and you'll see why these shrubs are flying off our shelves!

If you want to kick this mocktail up a notch, the folks over at Hudson Standard suggest adding an ounce of dry vermouth and cutting the seltzer in half for a "Light Shrub Cocktail". Shop the shrubs here and stay tuned all week long for our favorite apple recipes!
