The Gin Old Fashioned is basically what it sounds like. Swap the bourbon for some gin in an old fashioned and you are ready to rumble.  Chris Vanderginst at Cafe Muse makes it a bit more creative with Grapefruit bitters and a grapefruit peel instead of Angostura bitters & Orange peel. This compliments the gin (Death’s Door) really nicely.

This got my mind to thinking that I would love to push the bitter grapefruit further. I picked up some of Bitterman’s Grapefruit Liqueur and would love to see how I can tweak this drink.

For a more classic version of the cocktail check out good old Dave Wondrich.

This cocktail was perfect for sipping and great for that special gin you have been saving.  Budmo!
